Does that sound right ? No. R&D is currently deductible dollars spent or credited out of current earnings. COGS is what it cost to make a part and agian is CURRENTLY deductible. Cap ex is by definition, NOT DEDUCTIBLE from current earnings, has no effect on current earnings and doesn't have anything to do with current earnings. Once the plant is "placed in service or use" some YEARS from now, then it is depreciated, then the depreiation will effect earnings. Howzzit Bro.
