Is probable that future economic benefits attributable to the asset will flow to the enterprise b. The cost of the asset can be measured reliably Identifiable Intangibles - can be identified a part from other assets of the enterprise and can be sold Separately. Example ~ patents, copyrights, customer lists, trademarks or trade names and franchises. Unidentifiable intangibles ~ assets that cannot be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchange separately. Example ~ goodwill 2. Measurement of intangibles - Initial Recognition: The intangible asst is initially recognized at historical cost, The historical cost of an intangible is its fair value which is equal to its cash price equivalents. The cash price equivalent is determined by the following ways of acquiting an intangible asset By purchase ~ the purchase price and any import duties and non-refundable purchase taves and any directly attributable expenditure on preparing the asset for its intended use such as professional fees for legal services, By a deferred plan beyond n normal credit terms ~ the eash price equivatents (the cash price or the present or discounted value for a non-interest long term liability). "The difference of the cash prive equivalents and the total amount of payments is interest and recognized as expenise over the term of the credit period, By the issuance of equity instruments ~ the fair market value of the instruments, which is equal to the fair ‘market value of the intangible. By part of a business combination ~ the fair market value on the date of acquisition. The fait market Value is equal to the following. ‘© i'there is an active market ~ quoted market price which is usually the current bid price. ‘© there is no active market ~ the amount, which would have been paid by the company in an arm's length transaetion between knowledgeable and willing parties (by discounting estimated cash flows from the intangible asset). If the fair market value of the intangible asset in a business combination cannot be measured reliably, the asset is mot recognized as a separate intangible but is included within the over-all cost of purchase goodwill, By goverament grant it is recorded at the fair value or nominal value of the asset. The allemative course that is sometimes followed is to record both asset and grant at nominal valve. Note that the standard does not prescribe a preference. Accordingly. reporting entities with such grants are given recording the grant at fair value or at nominal value, hoice of By exchange ~ the cost of the intangible asset is measured at the fait market value unless the transaction facks commercial substance. If the exchange lacks the necessary commercial substance, the intangible asset is not measured at fair market value but the carrying value of the asset given up. Internally generated intangible are the cost that can be directly attributed or allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis to creating, producing and preparing the asset for its intended use. The includes the follow ing: © cost of materials und services used or consumed in genera iz the intangible asset. * Salaries and wages and other employment related cost of personne! directly engaged in generating the asset. © Expenditure that is directly attributable to generating the and amortization of patents and licenses that are used to generate the asset such as fees to register a legal right ‘+ Overhead that are necessary to generate the asset and that can be allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis to the asset. 3. Measurement subsequent to acquisition: Cost model — after initial recognition, the intangible shall be carried at its cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.

If the recoverable amount of the reporting unit is less than the net carrying amount of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, then a new fair value of the goodwill is computed. 9. Reversal of impairment loss for an Individual Asset: ‘The increased carrying amount of an asset other than goodwill attributable to a reversal of an impairment loss shall not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss for an asset other than goodwill shall be recognized immediately in profit (oF loss, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount. A reversal of impairment loss on a revalued asset credited directly to equity under the heading revaluation surplus. However, to the extent that an mpairment Joss on the same revalued asset was previously recognized in profit or loss, a reversal of that impairment loss is also recognized in profit or loss. 10, Leasehold Improvements are alteration or modifications on the leased property made by the lessee, such as buildings, walkways, pavements, landscaping, driveways, lightning installations, major repairs or replacements, partitions, cabinets, shelves, ventilating system and etc, made on leased assets.
