Document Summary

Intangible assets are normally recorded at the purchase price plus any legal or related fees. Trademarks, copyrights, patents, licensing rights, technology, franchises, and goodwill are examples of intangible assets. We will briefly discuss each of these intangible assets. Amortization is the systematic write-off of the cost of an intangible asset over its useful or legal life, whichever is shorter. Amortization is the same concept as depreciation only we call it a different name because it refers to intangible assets. Goodwill and trademarks have unlimited (or indefinite) lives and are not amortized. Accounting principles, research and development costs should be expensed as incurred. Learning objective 9-4: explain the effect of asset impairment on the financial statements. If an asset"s value decreases and cannot be recovered through future use or sale, the asset is considered to be impaired and it should be written down to its net realizable value.
