Capitalization of these expenses is a common practice in almost all
manufacturing industries, although some semi companies expense
them as incurred as R&D.

K: Are you suggesting that semi companies when accounting for startup costs for a new unopened fab, have the unfettered option of either capitalizing their costs or expensing them as incurred as R&D? I.E. They can do as they please?

Please further educate this board.
