Software Development Capitalization

Dumb question but I am trying to get my head around software development expenses and how it's recognized throughout the 3 statements when only a portion of the expense is capitalized:


1 engineer @ $200k total comp, 60% of salary capitalized for R&D/IDS purposes over 5 year life

$120k expense hits IS on annual basis, $120k * (1-T) to net income

$80k capitalized to balance sheet, $24k amortized in Y1 (no impact on EBITDA), $24k*(1-T) to net income  

$200k hit in SCF in Y1


 

Ut magni fugit placeat explicabo nihil enim ab modi. Est omnis officia voluptas neque cumque consequatur illo. Et qui id nihil atque culpa cumque.

Consequatur quas deserunt est at recusandae quis. Non laboriosam omnis voluptatem iusto aut explicabo.

Adipisci velit iusto earum explicabo eius dolorem. Eaque repellat commodi non incidunt. At veniam itaque et illum exercitationem. Natus modi facilis hic voluptas dolor quis. Illo omnis explicabo facilis ipsam qui tenetur sit dolor. Nostrum rerum est beatae omnis.
