Document Summary
Tangible assets with relatively long useful lives: used in operating the business. Furniture: usually listed in order of permanency. Depreciation: allocation of the cost of property, plant, and equipment over their estimated useful lives: Companies systematically assign a portion of the cost of an asset to expense each year. Under ifrs, this allocation is referred to as depreciation for property, plant, and equipment, and amortization for intangible assets. Under aspe, amortization is often used instead of depreciation. The cost of long-lived assets with indefinite lives is not depreciated (e. g. land) Accumulated depreciation account shows the total amount of depreciation taken to date. The difference between the cost of the asset and its accumulated depreciation is referred to as the carrying amount of the asset. Intangible assets: non-current assets that do not have physical substance and represent a privilege or a right held by the company.
