| Research Abstract |
In this study, we looked for evidence to determine whether or not intangible assets should be capitalized. The results are as follows : (1)The R&D cost by only firm which has a lot of intangible assets is effective, for a duration of 4 years. Contrastively, we could not find any cost effectiveness for advertisements. (2) Only when the proportion of a R&D budget is over 5% of sales, managers who are faced with the pressure to attain the earnings benchmark are likely to cut the R&D expenditure.
