hello everyone hi welcome to the channel of WallStreetmojo watch the video
[15]
till the end also if you are new to this channel then you can subscribe us by
[19]
clicking the bell Icon friends today we have a topic which is
[22]
amortization of intangible assets intangible assets a part and parcel of
[27]
every most of the every business well what exactly is a motorized issue just
[30]
like you know depreciation is there for fixed assets that is the tangible assets
[34]
we have amortization for the intangible assets well there's a dialog box over
[38]
here let what is there a motivation of the intangible assets it basically
[42]
refers to expensing or basically you know putting the numbers on the debit
[47]
side of the P&L account of the cost of the intangible assets over the form over
[51]
the useful life okay let me get you to the utility of this particular table the
[56]
intangible assets basically it refers to you know those assets which are not we
[60]
can tell physical which are not physical in nature of it cannot be touched so
[63]
they can be assets such as like you know we have trademarks we have copyright
[70]
patents so on and so forth so a modernization of
[74]
the intangible assets is similar to depreciation but just like you know
[77]
spreading out the cost of the asset and is then it is similar to
[83]
depreciation which is you know spreading out the cost of the forms asset or the
[86]
period of its lifetime so the main difference between the amortization and
[89]
what we call as depreciation is that it no is the prior to its used
[95]
in case of intangible assets and the other one is used in case of the
[100]
tangible so this is the one that is used for intangible and this is the one that
[104]
is used for tangible assets let's take an example to understand this in a
[108]
detail format let us consider a case of business organization let's say this is
[111]
a company called ABC which buys a patent
[118]
and the patent is costing let's say $15,000 for 15 years so the company can
[122]
utilize the patents for the benefits benefit of it for let's say for 15 years
[126]
and the total value of the patents which is amounting to 15,000 over it's useful
[130]
life of 15 years so the company ABC will amortize the expense 15,000 into 50
[136]
divided by 15 which is $1,000 each year and deduct the value from the asset of
[141]
the patent on its balance sheet every year so it's after the first year it
[145]
will look something like this the intangible assets will be at standing at
[147]
14,000 so in this manner the total value of the patent is expenses by the method
[151]
of amortization during their patents useful life let's take another example
[155]
example of a 2 patent becoming worthless after some years there can be
[159]
some cases you know where the useful life of the patent owned before 15 years
[164]
does not actually count up to 15 years okay let us consider after a period of
[168]
let's say 5 years
[172]
after the period of 5 years the patent becomes worthless for the company
[176]
ABC so the useful life of the intangible assets namely patent is reduced
[179]
from 15 to 5 so for only 5 years because of the assets can be amortized and it
[185]
can be expensed for $1000 each year
[191]
and in this case the remaining cost of 15,000 was the original because it is
[196]
for the 5 years so $5,000 will deduct so $10,000 which is the unamortized
[202]
portion to be expenses together and the value of patent will be reduced to the
[207]
a 0 value on the firms balance sheet let me take you another example example
[211]
number 3 let's say there is another case in which it comes and exists
[217]
of the expenses
[223]
in that terms of the patent so maybe because of the break in the terms by the
[226]
third party you can call that and in such a case you know the form needs to
[231]
hire a lawyer you can see you needs to hire lawyers so in so let us say that
[236]
you know the form of hired a lawyer who charged e company with the cost of for
[239]
let's say $10,000 and he successfully defended the Patent
[243]
successful and in this case such an amount spent for the lawyer of rupees
[247]
$10000 will be added to the value patent and is amortized over the
[250]
remaining useful life of the patent but this is of the examples have worked out
[255]
so as to make you understand now I'm going to show you over here this is from
[258]
the 10k filing you know Google's amortization of the intangible assets it
[261]
has patent customer relationships and trade names and others so they have this
[266]
three intangible assets they gross carrying value then there have been a
[270]
motorized as for the use for life and after deducting that that is accumulated
[273]
so depreciation and amortization will always be no accumulated man in the net
[277]
and the rest is going to be the net carrying value so over here the net
[281]
carrying value of patent is $2220 million and the remaining
[285]
useful life is 3.8 years so the amortization expense related to
[290]
the patent and develop for 2018 for this is for 2017 so for 2018 is gonna be
[295]
2220 divided by the remaining useful life that is 3.8
[299]
years which comes to 584 your 584 million dollars right so this is how it
[305]
has been found out now similar manner for the customer relationship what you
[309]
can do you have the net carrying value standing at how much 96 the
[312]
remaining useful life standing at 1.4 so you know the amortization
[317]
expense related to the patent developed for the customer relationship in 2018
[321]
will be 96 divided by 1.4 year that will give you 68 million
[327]
somewhere sort of and for the patent again do the same thing 376 divided by
[332]
4.6 that's gonna be 81 million so this is how it has been
[335]
determined so I have shown you an example of Google here now let's
[338]
consider what are the uses of the amortization of the intangible assets
[342]
see amortization of the intangible assets it can be used in two purpose it
[345]
can be used for two purpose the first one is being D it is the accounting
[350]
purpose it is used for the accounting purpose and the second one is for the
[356]
tax deferment purpose this other two great reasons behind it
[364]
but the amortization whether is used for two purpose our purposes are different
[368]
from the each other when you to when in used in case of tax purposes the actual
[372]
lifespan of the assets is not considered and only the you can say the base cost
[376]
is amortized over the specific number of years so intangible assets they are not
[382]
at all easy as in case of the tangible assets and there are in order
[386]
regulations you can say there are X which group certain assets under the
[391]
category of intangible assets and you know they give them a particular value
[395]
now the amortization of the intangible assets if what if it has invited
[399]
infinite useful life see intangible assets without a finite useful life that
[405]
is an indefinite useful life are not amortized but they are only what we call
[409]
as reviewed so reviewed for what it is reviewed for impairment
[415]
whenever changes in the events or circumstances you know they indicate the
[419]
carrying amount of the asset may not be recovering right now there are some of
[423]
the advantages that you should be well aware of of amortization of intangible
[428]
assets see primarily the use of the amortization in firms is - you can say
[433]
reduce the tax burdens as long as you know the asset is in use you can reduce
[438]
the tax to be paid second it helps the firm to show a higher value of asset and
[444]
more income of the firm's financial statement so after discussing the
[451]
examples of Google and ROI examples let me find little finally conclude on this
[456]
the use of the amortization of the intangible assets is beneficial for the
[459]
memorization helps in assessing the value of the amortization assets and
[464]
with ease so at the same time it it helps in assessing key benefits of
[470]
following it so more ever it helps the form by reducing the tax what only
[474]
possesses the possesses and the amortization capital expense helps
[477]
deform always the always possess a minimum financial security but that's it
[482]
for this particular topic for amortization of intangible assets so that's it for
[487]
