I disagree. It's temporary, so it should be a revenue cost.

I believe the right answer is D because those costs are necessary for the development, but I could see how others might argue against it.

I’m leaning towards option B, but I’m a bit confused about whether temporary accommodation fits into revenue costs or not.

I think we practiced a similar question where we had to decide on costs related to a project. I feel like temporary accommodation might be a capital cost since it’s part of the overall development.

I remember discussing how temporary costs might be treated differently, but I'm not sure if they count as capital or revenue.
