Characteristics that Distinguish Intangibles
1. There is generally a higher degree of uncertainty regarding the future benefits that may be derived.
2. Their value is subject to wider fluctuations because it may depend to a considerable extent on competitive conditions.
3. They may have value only to a particular company.
4. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not expensed.

Intangible Assets With a Finite Life Are
Amortized.
The calculation of the amortization of intangible
assets follows the same principles as the depreciation
of tangible assets.
Amortization of Intangibles
13
1. Select a method based on the pattern of benefits, if not determinable, use the straight line method.
2. Intangible assets do not have a residual value.

Research and DevelopmentA company must expense all of its
research and development as incurred. Even though R&D often benefit future
periods, requiring all companies to expense these costs enhances
comparability and eliminates the possibility of income manipulation.
