Document Summary

Intangible assets: like pp&e, which is a tangible asset, intangible assets also provide future benefits to the company over a number of years in the future. However, unlike pp&e, intangible assets have no physical form; the benefits arise out of legal rights conferred upon the owner. Intangible assets are amortized (similar to the concept of depreciation for tangible assets) over their useful lives. When benefits (or goods and services) have been received and the company promises to pay at a later date. Most liabilities tend to be at (or close to) market values. Obligations that companies have to settle (pay for) within the next year. Accounts payable: merchandise (finished goods or raw materials) bought by the company on credit. Expenses payable: examples are salaries payable, rent payable. When the company has taken the service of an employee or occupied leased premises but has not paid for it, this obligation is referred to as salary (or rent) payable.
