Intangible Assets: Intangible assets consist of items that are not tangible or in other words, are not able to be touched or seen even though money may have been paid to purchase them. Some common examples include Goodwill, Patents, Copyrights, Trademarks, Organization Costs, and Loan Fees. These intangible assets can be developed over a period of time by building up customer lists or by investing money into them or they can be purchased from another individual or entity.

Types of intangible assets: 1. Artistic-related: copyrights (photos, videos, audio materials) 2. Consumer-related: customer lists, contractual customer relationships, etc. 3. Contract-related: franchises, licensing agreements, broadcast rights, construction permits, exploration permits, import and export permits, service contracts, etc. 4. Goodwill (identified only with a business as a whole) 5. Market-related: trademarks, brand names, internet domain names, magazine mastheads, etc. 6. Technology-related: patents, trade secrets, computer programs, product formulas, etc.

Other Assets: This category of assets is a diverse group that encompasses any long-lasting asset that does not match in any of the groups described above. This section might comprise assets as long-standing receivables (from clients or associated organizations) and long-standing prepaid insurance premiums, deferred charge (i.e. deferred tax asset) etc.

Loan Amortization
Amortization:
The systematic write- off to expense of the cost of an intangible asset over the periods of its economic usefulness.
OR

As the loan is paid off, a progressively larger portion of the payments goes toward principal and a progressively smaller portion towards the interest. Also called amortizing loan.

    An item cannot be an intangible asset unless it is an asset in the first place, that is to say the intangible assets should meet the definition of the asset based on IASB Conceptual Framework which contains three main criterions: control, future economic benefits and identifiable (Sacui and Predișcan, 2011). Therefore, whether the item meets the three criterions are the first requirements and the difficulties to recognize an intangible asset. Firstly, the identifiable of an asset is that “it is capable of being separate or divided from the entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged” (IAS38). So as the intangible assets, it also should be separable from the entity or other rights and obligations. However, the intangible assets are lack of physical substance, the requirement of “identifiable” is one of the difficulties the entities will meet. Then the accountancy standards require that the company must be able to control the item’s future economic benefits. At last, there must be an expectation of future economics and the intangible assets should be capable of attributing directly or indirectly to future net cash flow (Sacui and Predișcan, 2011).

It can be calculated by two main methods, each reflecting in a distinct prospect in the way the asset is used.

In determining the cost of acquisition of the lathes, any capital expenditure made must be added to the purchase price of the lathes. This amount will be considered as the historical cost and will be used in calculating the depreciation expense…
