If Lily were following U.S. GAAP, the entire $80,000 in research and development costs would have been expensed immediately last year when it was incurred. Under U.S. GAAP, the entire $4,700 in interest expense would have been capitalized. There was interest expense of $2,000 recognized in the prior year in association with the same project; the associated construction is not yet completed, so no depreciation would have been recognized. Reconcile Lily’s net income of $10,000 to U.S. GAAP. Ignore income taxes.
