Compared to the company that judges technological feasibility early, the one that waits until closer to manufacturing willmost likely report lower:

参考解答
Ans:C.
U.S. GAAP requires that a company expense costs related to software development until product feasibility is established and capitalize any costs thereafter. The company that capitalizes these software development costs reports the expenditures in the investing activities section of the statement of cash flows; the company that expenses software development costs reports the expenditures in the cash flow from operations.
