ACC E272 Lecture Notes - Lecture 15: Current Asset, Indirect Costs, Sales Tax
Document Summary
If there"s a possible impairment of a limited life intangible, use the rules that apply to impairments of pp&e. Recoverability test, fair value test, computing loss, no restoration of loss. If there"s a possible impairment of an indefinite life intangible other than goodwill, use the fair value test (asset"s carrying value compared to the asset"s fair value). They don"t use the recoverability test since cash flows may extend many years into the future, thus easily passing the test. If there"s a possible impairment on goodwill, use the fair value test on the reporting unit. If the fair value is less than the carrying value, do the fair value test on goodwill. Do fair value of assets- net asset (excluding goodwill) to find implied goodwill then compare the implied goodwill to the actual goodwill to see if there"s a loss. Presentation of intangible assets: the reporting of intangible assets is similar to the reporting of pp&e.
