1. 985-20Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Marketed985 Software

   ASC 985-20 governs the accounting for costs of computer software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed, whether internally developed or purchased. All costs incurred to establish technological feasibility are research and development expensed as incurred (985-20-25-1); costs of producing product masters after technological feasibility is established are capitalized (985-20-25-3) and capitalization ceases when the product is available for general release (985-20-25-6). Capitalized amounts are amortized product-by-product at the greater of the revenue-ratio or straight-line amount (985-20-35-1) and are written down to net realizable value at each balance sheet date (985-20-35-4).
