The key difference between amortization and depreciation is that amortization charges off the cost of an intangible asset, while depreciation does so for a tangible asset. True False
Which of the following methods is used to amortize intangible assets over their useful lives? a. a declining balance methodb. straight linec. annual review for impairmentd. intangible assets are not amortized
In recording amortization of intangible asset, why isn't there an entry such as a credit to accumulated amortization? Why isn't it done the equivalent way we'd have for a fixed asset by keeping track of accumulated depreciation. Instead I notice the value of whatever the intangible asset is, is directly reduced by crediting the intangible asset When it's time to amortize. I'm guessing we could reduce the value of a fixed asset too directly. Just want to confirm that there hasn't been any recent changes to the idea of accumulated depreciation.
Intangible assets are amortized when: There is no more depreciation available to take. It has a finite life. It has an infinite life. The value has been impaired.
When an intangible asset has a finite life, amortization should be taken over what period of time? The shorter of the asset’s useful life or its legal life. The longer of the asset’s useful life or its legal life. According to U.S. GAAP, all costs should be expensed. No amortization should be taken on intangible assets.
What is the purpose of amortisation? To allocate the cost of an intangible non-current asset over its useful life To ensure that funds are available for the eventual purchase of a replacement non-current asset To reduce the cost of an intangible non-current asset in the statement of financial position to its estimated market value To account for the risk associated with intangible assets
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of intangible assets? They are long-term in nature. They are not financial instruments. They lack physical existence. They are all subject to amortization.
What is an intangible asset? Should all intangible assets be subject to amortization? Explain why or why not. Why are some intangible assets not amortized? What is the implication to the financial statements?

An active market exists for the intangible asset.C. The cost of the intangible asset can be measured reliably.D. The intangible asset is a monetary asset.
Intangibles have either a limited useful life or an indefiniteuseful life. How should these two different types ofintangibles be amortized?
Under IFRS, a company that acquires an intangible asset may use the revaluation model for subsequent measurement only if a. The useful life of the intangible asset can be readily determined. b. An active market exists for the intangible asset. c. The cost of the intangible asset can be measured reliably. d. The intangible asset is a monetary asset.
Evaluate the consequences of depreciation charged on the historical cost of the assets. I) depreciation is calculated on the original cost of fixed assets, the resulting figure under accumulated depreciation will be only the amount equivalent to the original costof the asset. II) If depreciation is calculated as per historical accounting, sufficient funds will not be available for assets' replacement when its life is over. III) the replacement cost of the asset will be more than the original cost of inflation so that replacement provisions made by the way of depreciation charge on the original cost will be insufficient. IV) the conventional system of accounts based on historical cost does not give a true and fair view of the business enterprise. a. Statements I, Il and IV b. Statements I, II II and IV C.
