Document Summary

Long-lived assets are assets that are used actively in the operations of the business, and that are expected to benefit the operations into the future. There are two major categories of long-lived assets. Tangible plant assets are long-term assets that have physical substance. Intangible assets are long-lived assets without physical substance. Land, buildings, equipment, furniture, and fixtures are examples of long-lived tangible assets. Depreciation allocates the cost of a long-lived asset over the periods benefited by its use. We will study depreciation in detail later in the chapter. Intangible assets have value represented by rights that produce benefits. Trademarks, copyrights, patents, licensing rights, technology, franchises, and goodwill are examples of intangible assets. We will take a look at each of these later in the chapter. Intangibles with a limited life, such as patents and copyrights, are subject to amortization. Intangibles with an unlimited (or indefinite) life, such as goodwill and trademarks, are not amortized.
