Intangible Asset Issues
Characteristics
(1) Lack physical existence, Can be identified or existed from legal rights
(2) Not financial instruments.
Normally classified as long-term asset.
Common types of intangibles:
 Patents  Trademarks or trade names
 Copyrights  Goodwill
 Franchises or licenses

Controlable :
Capable to generate economic benefits and limited other access to gain
economic benefits. The economic benefits define as income,cost saving or
other benefits that can translate into monetary unit.

12-5 LO 1 Describe the characteristics of intangible assets.


Intangible Asset Issues
Valuation
Purchased Intangibles:
 Recorded at cost.
 Includes all costs necessary to make the intangible asset
ready for its intended use.
 Typical costs include:
► Purchase price.
► Legal fees.
► Other incidental expenses.

Internally Created Intangibles:


 Generally expensed.
 Only capitalize direct costs incurred in developing the
intangible, such as legal costs.

12-6 LO 2 Identify the costs to include in the initial valuation of intangible assets.
Intangible Asset Issues
Amortization of Intangibles
Limited-Life Intangibles:
 Amortize by systematic charge to expense over useful life.
 Credit asset account or accumulated amortization.
 Useful life should reflect the periods over which the
asset will contribute to cash flows.
 Amortization should be cost less residual value.

Indefinite-Life Intangibles:
 No foreseeable limit on time the asset is expected to
provide cash flows.
 No amortization.
 Must test indefinite-life intangibles for impairment at
least annually.

12-7 LO 3 Explain the procedure for amortizing intangible assets.


Intangible Asset Issues
Illustration 12-1
Amortization of Intangibles Accounting Treatment
for Intangibles

Assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful life. Impairment testing
should be performed whenever events give rise to the recoverability of the
intangible asset.

Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized and should be reviewed
at least annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in
circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not the asset is impaired.
12-8 LO 3 Explain the procedure for amortizing intangible assets.
Types of Intangibles
Six Major Categories:
Marketing Customer Artistic

Impairment of Intangible Assets

Impairment of Limited-Life Intangibles


Same as impairment for long-lived assets in Chapter 11.

(fair value test).
The loss is reported as part of income from continuing
operations, “Other expenses and losses” section.

2. Significant adverse change in the asset’s manner of use
3. Significant adverse change in legal factors or the business
climate that could affect the asset’s value
4. Excessive costs incurred to acquire or construct the asset

Impairment of Intangible Assets
Illustration: Arcon Radio purchased a broadcast license for
$2,000,000. Arcon Radio has renewed the license with the FCC
twice, at a minimal cost. Because it expects cash flows to last
indefinitely, Arcon reports the license as an indefinite-life intangible
asset. Recently the FCC decided to auction these licenses to the
highest bidder instead of renewing them. Arcon Radio expects cash
flows for the remaining two years of its existing license. It performs an
impairment test and determines that the fair value of the intangible
asset is $1,500,000.

APPENDIX 12A ACCOUNTING FOR COMPUTER SOFTWARE COSTS

Diversity in Practice
Companies can either

 purchase computer software or

 create it.

How should companies account for the costs of developing


software?

Should they expense such costs immediately, or capitalize


and amortize them in the future?

12-58 LO 11 Understand the accounting treatment for computer software costs.


APPENDIX 12A ACCOUNTING FOR COMPUTER SOFTWARE COSTS

The Profession’s Position


FASB ASC 985-20-05 - Major recommendations of this
pronouncement are:

1. Until a company has established technological


feasibility for a software product, it should charge to
R&D expense the costs incurred in creating the product.

2. Technological feasibility is established when the


company has completed a detailed program design or a
working model.

12-59 LO 11 Understand the accounting treatment for computer software costs.


APPENDIX 12A ACCOUNTING FOR COMPUTER SOFTWARE COSTS

Accounting for Capitalized Software Costs


If companies are to capitalize software costs, then they must
establish a proper amortization pattern.

As a basis for amortization, one of two amounts is used:


1. the ratio of current revenues to current and anticipated
revenues (the percent-of-revenue approach), or

2. the straight-line method over the remaining useful life of the


asset (straight-line approach).

Must use whichever of those amounts is greater.

12-60 LO 11 Understand the accounting treatment for computer software costs.


APPENDIX 12A ACCOUNTING FOR COMPUTER SOFTWARE COSTS

Illustration: AT&T has capitalized software costs of $10 million,


and current (first-year) revenues from sales of this product of $4
million. AT&T anticipates earning $16 million in additional future
revenues from this product; it estimates that the product has an
economic life of four years. Under the two approaches, the
calculations are as follows for the first year’s amortization:

Percent-of-revenue approach Straight-line approach

12-61 LO 11 Understand the accounting treatment for computer software costs.


APPENDIX 12A ACCOUNTING FOR COMPUTER SOFTWARE COSTS

Reporting Software Costs


Companies should report the following information relating to
software.

RELEVANT FACTS
 Like GAAP, under IFRS intangible assets (1) lack physical
substance and (2) are not financial instruments. In addition, under
IFRS an intangible asset is identifiable. To be identifiable, an
intangible asset must either be separable from the company (can be
sold or transferred) or it arises from a contractual or legal right from
which economic benefits will flow to the company. Fair value is used
as the measurement basis for intangible assets under IFRS, if it is
more clearly evident.
 As in GAAP, under IFRS the costs associated with research and
development are segregated into the two components. Costs in the
research phase are always expensed under both IFRS and GAAP.
Under IFRS, costs in the development phase are capitalized once
technological feasibility is achieved.
12-67
RELEVANT FACTS
 IFRS permits revaluation on limited-life intangible assets.
Revaluations are not permitted for goodwill and other indefinite-life
intangible assets.
 IFRS permits some capitalization of internally generated intangible
assets (e.g., brand value) if it is probable there will be a future
benefit and the amount can be reliably measured.
 IFRS requires an impairment test at each reporting date for long-
lived assets and intangibles and records an impairment if the asset’s
carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable
amount is the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its
value-in-use. Value-in-use is the future cash flows to be derived from
the particular assets, discounted to present value.
12-68
RELEVANT FACTS
 IFRS allows reversal of impairment losses when there has been a
change in economic conditions or in the expected use of limited-life
intangibles. IFRS and GAAP are similar in the accounting for
impairments of assets held for disposal.
 IFRS and GAAP are very similar for intangibles acquired in a
business combination. That is, companies recognize an intangible
asset separately from goodwill if the intangible represents
contractual or legal rights or is capable of being separated or divided
and sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged. In addition,
under both GAAP and IFRS, companies recognize acquired in-
process research and development (IPR&D) as a separate
intangible asset if it meets the definition of an intangible asset and its
fair value can be measured reliably.
