Description
The chief financial officer and acting chief executive officer of PixStream Incorporated, a high-tech video networking solutions company, was contemplating how "going public" in the next couple of years might affect his decisions and choices relating to the company's accounting practices for research and development expenditures. He needed to determine if he should continue expensing all research and development costs or if he should capitalize and amortize some or all of the costs over the period of time the company is expected to benefit from the research and development efforts. There were many practical business reasons for keeping development costs off the balance sheet, but he wanted to ensure that PixStream would get its proper valuation when the time came for the company to go public. He wanted to approach his analysis from a proper accounting perspective and from a practical business perspective, to make sure that all angles were covered. Once he has decided on his course of action, he must determine the ramifications of his decision and the actions that he will have to take as a result.
