The amount of research and development costs charged to Crane's 2021 income statement = $2,696,666

Explanation:

Materials used in research and development projects = $945,000

Equipment acquired that will have alternate future uses in future research and development projects = $2,950,000

Depreciation = $491,666

Personnel costs = $745,000

Consulting fees = $295,000

Indirect costs = $220,000

The amount of research and development costs charged to Crane's 2021 income statement would be:

Materials used + Depreciation for 2021 + Personnel costs + Consulting fees + Indirect costs

= $945,000 + $491,666 + $745,000 + $295,000 + $220,000

= $2,696,666

Therefore, the amount of research and development costs charged to Crane's 2021 income statement = $2,696,666
