Intangible Assets 4
Common Types of Intangibles
Patents, copyrights, franchises, start-up costs, trade names, trademarks, goodwill etc..
![Page 5: Intermediate Financial Accounting I Intangible Assets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061522/56649c9e5503460f9495e2ab/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Intangible Assets 5
Valuation of Intangibles Intangibles are recorded at cost and
are also reported at cost at the end of an accounting period.
Intangibles with limited life are subject to amortization and possible impairment test.
Intangibles with indefinite life are only subject to impairment test at least annually.
![Page 6: Intermediate Financial Accounting I Intangible Assets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061522/56649c9e5503460f9495e2ab/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Intangible Assets 6
Costs of Intangibles
Costs of Intangibles include acquisition costs plus any other expenditures necessary to make the intangibles ready for the intended uses (i.e., purchase price, legal fees, filing fees etc.; not including internal R&D).
Essentially, the accounting treatment of valuation for intangibles closely parallels that followed by tangible assets.
![Page 7: Intermediate Financial Accounting I Intangible Assets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061522/56649c9e5503460f9495e2ab/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Intangible Assets 7
Examples
1. Issuance of stock to acquire intangibles.
2. Lump-sum purchase of intangibles. Costs will be allocated in accordance
with the fair market value of each individual intangible.

Intangible Assets 8
Intangibles Assets with Finite lives
Patents (20 years), copyrights (the life of the creator plus 70 years), franchise and license (the contractual life).
The costs are subjected to amortization (a process of cost allocation) over the shorter of the legal or useful life, not to exceed 40 years.
![Page 9: Intermediate Financial Accounting I Intangible Assets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061522/56649c9e5503460f9495e2ab/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Intangible Assets 9
Amortization of Intangibles The impairment test needed only when
events indicate that the book value may not be recoverable.
Amortization Method: Straight-line method.
Other method can be applied if it is more appropriate than the S-L method.
Residual value: Usually zero.

6. Research and Development (R&D) Prior to SFAS 2 (effective in 1974), the
practice was to either expense or capitalize R&D related expenditures.
SFAS 2 requires to expense and disclose all R&D costs if the results of R&D are for internal use.
![Page 25: Intermediate Financial Accounting I Intangible Assets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061522/56649c9e5503460f9495e2ab/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Intangible Assets 25
6. Research and Development (R&D) R&D costs include salaries of personnel
involved in R&D, costs of materials used, equipments, facilities and intangibles used in R&D activities.
If equipment has an alternative usage, the equip. should be capitalized and only the depreciation expense will be included in the R&D expense.
![Page 26: Intermediate Financial Accounting I Intangible Assets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061522/56649c9e5503460f9495e2ab/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
R&D: An Example
Cash expenditures related to the R&D are as follows:
R&D salaries and wages $100,000
R&D material &supplies used 50,000
R&D equip. purchased* 120,000
Payments to others for service performed related to R&D 30,000

R&D: An Example (contd.)
*The equipment purchased will be used in other projects and the depreciation on the equipment in 2008 was $ 10,000.
R&D expenses include the followings: R&D salary: $100,000; R&D material:
$50,000; depre. Expense: $10,000; payments to others: $30,000 .
The following expenditures are capitalized: Equipment: $120,000 ; Patent: $25,000.

R & D Contracts Costs of R&D performed under
contracts for others are capitalized as inventory or receivable.
Income from these contracts can be recognized based on percentage-of completion or complete contract method as discussed for the long-term construction contracts.
![Page 29: Intermediate Financial Accounting I Intangible Assets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061522/56649c9e5503460f9495e2ab/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Intangible Assets 29
Purchased R&D
When acquiring another company, the purchase price is allocated to tangible assets, intangibles (developed technology) and in-process R&D.
The remaining will be the goodwill. The in-process R&D is expensed prior
to 2009.
![Page 30: Intermediate Financial Accounting I Intangible Assets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061522/56649c9e5503460f9495e2ab/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Intangible Assets 30
Purchased R&D (Contd.)
The fair value of in-process R&D is capitalized as indefinite-life intangible asset for business acquisition made in fiscal years beginning on or after 12/15/2008 (SFAS 141 (revised)).
The capitalized in-process R&D should not be amortized but is subject to impairment test.
![Page 31: Intermediate Financial Accounting I Intangible Assets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061522/56649c9e5503460f9495e2ab/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
International Financial Reporting Standards – R&D (IAS 38) Research expenditures are expenses
as incurred. Development expenditures meet
certain criteria (i.e., development costs can be measured , the product is technically and commercially feasible and the economic benefits are probable) are capitalized as an intangible asset.

![Page 32: Intermediate Financial Accounting I Intangible Assets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061522/56649c9e5503460f9495e2ab/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Intangible Assets 32
7. Computer Software Costs
Computer software costs including planning, designing, coding, testing, documentation and preparation of training materials.
Expense most of the costs if the software is to be sold.
SFAS 86 requires these costs be expensed as R & D expenses prior to the establishment of technological feasibility of the software.
![Page 33: Intermediate Financial Accounting I Intangible Assets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061522/56649c9e5503460f9495e2ab/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Intangible Assets 33
Costs Associated With a Software
Costs occurred after the establishment of technological feasibility but before the software is ready for general release are capitalized as an intangible asset.
Costs occurred after the software is ready for general release and production are recognized as produce costs (will be expensed as CGS later).
![Page 34: Intermediate Financial Accounting I Intangible Assets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061522/56649c9e5503460f9495e2ab/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Intangible Assets 34
8. Goodwill
Cannot be separated from the business.
Can only be recognized if the whole business was purchased and the purchase price is greater than the market value of the net assets (i.e., market value of assets market value of liabilities).
![Page 35: Intermediate Financial Accounting I Intangible Assets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061522/56649c9e5503460f9495e2ab/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

![Page 36: Intermediate Financial Accounting I Intangible Assets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061522/56649c9e5503460f9495e2ab/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Intangible Assets 36
Methods of Measuring Goodwill
Theoretically, estimate the value of each factor which contributes to the goodwill (not practical).
There are two alternatives used in measuring goodwill:
a. Master valuation approach.
b. Capitalization of excess earnings power.
![Page 37: Intermediate Financial Accounting I Intangible Assets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061522/56649c9e5503460f9495e2ab/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Intangible Assets 37
a. Master Valuation Approach
Goodwill1 = Purchase price of a business - market value of net assets of the business.
Market value of net assets = M.V. of assets - M.V. of liabilities.
1. Goodwill is measured as the excess of cost over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired.
![Page 38: Intermediate Financial Accounting I Intangible Assets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061522/56649c9e5503460f9495e2ab/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Intangible Assets 38
b. Capitalization of Excess Earnings Power
Excess earnings power = the difference between what a firm earns and what is normally earned for a similar firm in the same industry.
Goodwill = Discounting the excess earnings over the estimated life of the excess earnings.
![Page 39: Intermediate Financial Accounting I Intangible Assets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061522/56649c9e5503460f9495e2ab/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Intangible Assets 39
b. Capitalization of Excess Earnings Power (contd.)
ExampleExcess earning = $10,000Discount Rate = 10%Estimated life = 10 years
Goodwill = $10,000 x 6.145 = $61,450
annuity, 10 -period, 10%
![Page 40: Intermediate Financial Accounting I Intangible Assets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061522/56649c9e5503460f9495e2ab/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Intangible Assets 40
b. Capitalization of Excess Earnings Power (contd.)
Excess Earnings = annual average earnings of a firm (excluding extraordinary items) normal annual earnings of a similar firm in the industry.
Normal earnings = industry rate of return on assets the market value of the acquired firm’s net assets.
![Page 41: Intermediate Financial Accounting I Intangible Assets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061522/56649c9e5503460f9495e2ab/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Intangible Assets 42
Goodwill (contd.) Amortization of goodwill is abolished by
SFAS No. 142, effective July 2002. Goodwill is subject to impairment tests
at least annually. See the notes in chapter 11 for Assets
Impairment for the goodwill impairment procedures.
![Page 43: Intermediate Financial Accounting I Intangible Assets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061522/56649c9e5503460f9495e2ab/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Intangible Assets 43
Negative Goodwill
Negative Goodwill: Cannot be recognized.
(in the case when price paid is less than the market value of the net assets)
The negative goodwill is used to reduce the costs assigned to the noncurrent assets acquired. The reduction is proportionately to the relative market value of the noncurrent assets.
![Page 44: Intermediate Financial Accounting I Intangible Assets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061522/56649c9e5503460f9495e2ab/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Intangible Assets 44
Impairment of Intangible Assets(see Impairment Notes in Ch. 11 for Details)
All principles (SFAS 144) apply to impairments of long-lived assets also apply to intangible assets.
Thus, when changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of the intangibles may not be reconcilable (i.e., fair value of intangible < carrying amount), a write-down should be performed to recognize the loss.
![Page 45: Intermediate Financial Accounting I Intangible Assets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061522/56649c9e5503460f9495e2ab/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
