LO 4 Describe the types of intangible assets.
Types of Intangibles
Goodwill
Conceptually, represents the future economic benefits arising
from the other assets acquired in a business combination that
are not individually identified and separately recognized.
Only recorded when an entire business is purchased.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of ...
cost of the purchase over the FMV of the identifiable net
assets purchased.
Internally created goodwill should not be capitalized.

Both U.S. GAAP and IFRS segregate the costs associated with
research and development into the two components. Costs in the
research phase are always expensed under both IFRS and U.S. GAAP.
Under IFRS, however, costs in the development phase are capitalized
once economic viability is achieved.
12-54
12-55
While IFRS allows reversal of impairment losses when there has been a
change in economic conditions or in the expected use of the asset,
under U.S. GAAP, impairment losses cannot be reversed for assets to
be held and used; the impairment loss results in a new cost basis for
the asset. IFRS and U.S. GAAP are similar in the accounting for the
impairments of assets held for disposal.
