1.Thetwomaincharacteristicsofintangibleassetsare:

(a)theylackphysicalsubstance.

(b)theyarenotafinancialinstrument.

2.Ifintangiblesareacquiredforstock,thecostoftheintangibleisthefairvalueoftheconsideration

givenorthefairvalueoftheconsiderationreceived,whicheverismoreclearlyevident.

3.Limited-lifeintangiblesshouldbeamortizedbysystematicchargestoexpenseovertheirusefullife.An

intangibleassetwithanindefinitelifeisnotamortized.

4.Whenintangiblesarecreatedinternally,itisoftendifficulttodeterminethevalidityofanyfuture

servicepotential.Topermitdeferralofthesetypesofcostswouldleadtoagreatdealofsubject-tivity

becausemanagementcouldarguethatalmostanyexpensecouldbecapitalizedonthebasisthatit

willincreasefuturebenefits.Thecostofpurchasedintangibles,however,iscapitalizedbecauseits

costcanbeobjectivelyverifiedandreflectsitsfairvalueatthedateofacquisition.

5.Companiescannotcapitalizeself-developed,self-maintained,orself-createdgoodwill.Theseexpen­

6.Factorstobeconsideredindeterminingusefullifeare:

(a)Theexpecteduseoftheassetbytheentity.

(b)Theexpectedusefullifeofanotherassetoragroupofassetstowhichtheusefullifeofthe

(c)Anylegal,regulatory,orcontractualprovisionsthatmaylimitusefullife.

(d)Anylegal,regulatoryorcontractualprovisionsthatenablerenewalorextensionoftheasset's

legalorcontractuallifewithoutsubstantialcost.

(e)Theeffectsofobsolescence,demand,competition,andothereconomicfactors.
