(d) the need to bring the whole of the expenditure into account over the time during which the value of the original master version is expected to be realised.

(5) The person carrying on the trade may also allocate to the relevant period a further amount, so long as the total amount allocated to the period does not exceed the value of the original master version realised in the period (by way of income or otherwise).
