CHAPTER

SUBSTANTIVE TESTS OF
12 INTANGIBLE ASSETS

12-1. The decision whether a given expenditure on intangible asset to be treated as

expense or asset requires judgment. Expenditure giving rise to future benefits will
be classified as assets while those expenditure the future benefits from which are
uncertain are charged of as expense in the year incurred. The expected benefit
from the intangible assets can be assessed in terms of the following:
a) Patents: Actual production of the goods covered by the patent
b) Goodwill: Review of actual excess income as well as actual income of the
investee
c) Trademark / Tradename: Continuous production of the product covered by
the trademark/tradename.

12-2. Research and Development Costs vary widely among companies. Many
expenditures do have future worth, while others are so highly uncertain as to
future value that recording them as assets is clearly improper.

The auditors interest in auditing Research and Development costs stems from the
objective of determining whether they should be deferred or charged against
current operations. He shall be guided by GAAP in judging whether the clients
treatment of the Research and Development Costs is justified or not.

12-3. Menfro, Inc.

The rapid amortization of the leasehold for the first twelve (12) years resulted to
an understatement of income totaling to P60,000:
Correct amortization P450,000 x 12 P270,000
20
Amortization per client (P27,500 x 12) 330,000
Over-amortization P 60,000

In view of the above, the amount of P60,000 should be added back to Retained
Earnings as correction of prior years profits. Furthermore, amortization of
P22,500 for the 13th year should be recorded.
These adjustments would result to a net increase in the Retained Earnings balance
which will enable the company to declare dividends without depleting the
Retained Earnings balance significantly.

12-4. Requirement (a)

The annual depreciation for years 11 to 25 is P1,667. By the end of the 25 th year,
the building would be fully depreciated. [(50,000 25,000) / 15 years)

Requirement (b)
If the original lease had contained a renewal clause for an additional 20 years, the
depreciation rate would still be 5%, which is based on the original term of the
lease. The renewal of the lease contract is not certain and therefore will not be
considered in the determination of the amortization period.

Amortization for 2005 and 2006:

Patent B: (P36,256/12 years) P 3,021

The cost basis of patent B is P36,256 - P1,511 + P8,800 - P3,546). 2005, a full
years amortization is taken by dividing the unamortized cost by the remaining
useful life. In 2006 this is P39,999/10 years or P3,809.

Requirement (b)

The legal costs of a court defense should be charged to expense whether the suit is
won or lost because it does not meet the recognition criteria. Also, the
unsuccessful defense implies that Patent A is of no further value to the company
and leads to the write-off of the remaining unamortized cost of that patent.

Requirement (b)

Additional items which should be included are:

1. Income statement, including amounts of revenue and expenses recognized
since the inception of the enterprise in 2006.

2. Statement of cash flows, including cumulative amounts of sources and uses of

cash since the inception of the enterprise.

3. Additional disclosures: identification of the company as a development-stage

enterprise, and description of significant development-stage activities.

12-12. Nikko Corporation

Requirement (a)

In a purchase transaction, assets are recorded at their acquisition price, which

becomes the cost basis to the acquiring corporation. The book values of the assets
for Rain Company are irrelevant.

Requirement (b)

When a price is paid for a group of assets, the total price must be allocated to the
individual assets. Because we know neither the total fair value of the tangible and
other intangible assets acquired from Rain Company nor the price to be paid by
the Nikko Corporation, we cannot determine whether Nikko Corporation has any
goodwill to record. The total price to be paid by the Nikko Corporation is
indefinite but it may be estimated by discounting the expected receipts (1% of net
sales) at the end of each of the next 5 years and adding the initial P450,000 cash
payment. If the estimated purchase price exceeds the sum of the estimated fair
values of the tangible and other assets purchased, then the excess may be recorded
as goodwill.

12-13. Golden Springs Shopping Center, Inc.

Interest on mortgage bonds: An amount equal to the interest cost incurred in 2004
(P60,000) is clearly a cost that can be associated with the normal construction
period and can be regarded as a normal element of the capitalized cost of the
physical assets of the shopping center because the construction period would have
ended at the end of the year if the typhoon had not occurred. The decision to use
debt capital to finance the shopping center was made with full knowledge that
interest would accrue during the construction period and add to the total cost of
building the center and bringing it to the point at which it would produce revenue.
The future income to be generated by the shopping center must have been
estimated to be more than sufficient to recover all of the expected costs of
 Substantive Tests of Intangible Assets 12-13
building the center and preparing it for occupancy, including interest during the
construction period.

Instead of treating interest during construction as an element of the cost of the

physical assets, it can be argued that it represents an element of the general cost of
bringing the business to the point of revenue production and should therefore be
treated as an organization cost. This view regards interest during construction as
just another of the many expenditures that are necessary to acquire and organize
the physical assets of a new business but do not attach to any specific assets.
Treated as an organization cost, interest during construction would be expensed as
a start-up cost.

Another alternative to capitalizing an amount equal to the 2004 interest cost is to

treat it as interest expense. This treatment is inappropriate because it assumes that
the decision to use debt capital to finance construction is a decision deliberately to
incur an expense for the interest that accrues during the expected construction
period.

The extension of the construction period to October 2005 because of the typhoon
was externally imposed and so the interest capitalization period continues until
final construction is complete. That is, the additional interest cost is capitalized
and not expensed as a loss from the typhoon.

Cost of obtaining tenants: Both the 2004 and 2005 costs of obtaining tenants
should be capitalized and amortized over the life of the leases. The fact that all of
the tenants who were signed when the typhoon occurred accepted the October
occupancy date indicates that the total cost of obtaining tenants was not affected
by the delay.

The cost of obtaining tenants has a direct and easily identifiable relationship to the
rental income to be earned over the terms of the leases. Under these
circumstances, the problem of reliably measuring periodic net income is best
solved by matching costs with the revenues to which they are directly related.

Promotional advertising: The 2004 cost of promotional advertising should be

written off as a start-up cost. The 2005 cost of promotional advertising should
also be expensed.

The initial expense treatment of the 2004 advertising cost is appropriate because it
is a start-up cost.

The 2005 advertising cost may also be considered as a start-up cost or simply
expensed as advertising cost incurred.

considered to be errors and treated as prior period adjustments and, therefore, should be applied against beginning retained earnings.

indefinite useful lives need not be amortized but
periodically assessed for possible impairment.
This problem may also be solved by
disregarding the 40-year amortization period for
Licensing Agreement #1. The flood that
rendered Licensing Agreement #1 worthless in
January 2007 should be fully disclosed in the
December 31, 2006 statements.

2007 amortization: (P16,000 10) = P1,600.
12/31/07 book value: (P16,000 P3,200) = P12,800.

(b) 2007 amortization: (P12,800) 4 = P3,200.

12/31/07 book value: P12,800 P3,200 = P9,600.

Legal fees in successfully defending the trade name should be charged to

expense.
 Substantive Tests of Intangible Assets 12-19
(c) Carrying amount (P19,733) > Fair Value (P15,000); thus the tradename fails
the recoverability test. The new carrying value is P15,000.

The fair value is considered the recoverable amount. The estimated total
future flows from the trade name of P16,000 need to be discounted and the
resulting present value would in most probability be a lower amount than
P15,000.

2008 amortization (after recording impairment loss):

P15,000 8 = P1,875.
