Document Summary

Intangible assets are noncurrent economic resources that have no physical or financial nature. They generally derive their value from the legal, intellectual, and intangible benefits they convey to the company. Intangible resources are normally recognized as assets only when they have been acquired by a company in an external transaction. The following three categories of intangible assets that have been acquired in external market transactions: Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives and reported on the balance sheet at their adjusted historical cost. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are reviewed for impairment annually. Goodwill represents the purchase premium paid when one company acquires another company and is reviewed for impairment annually. Other assets include miscellaneous assets that do not fit in one of the previous categories. Example (the noncurrent asset section of the balance sheet)
