[27]
comment from a video I answer all comments and if you have a question for
[34]
another video let me know because I know this will at least help one person out
[38]
and I'm all about helping people so let's get this in this is tangible
[44]
assets first intangible assets and I just want to keep this will just go an
[50]
inch deep on this let's keep it very tricky but very simple now you have an
[55]
asset I I looked what's an asset it provides an economic
[61]
benefit it provides a benefit something that provides a benefit to the company
[66]
let's say like that now you have either it's going to be a tangible asset or an
[74]
intangible asset tangible asset you can it has physical form you can touch it
[84]
see it move it intangible not physical in nature
[91]
can't touch see or move you don't want to really overthink this there are some
[97]
that can be and like I left them out but just you don't want to overthink this if
[106]
you think it's a tangible asset it probably is you know examples of a
[111]
tangible asset tangible assets machine can you touch see and move a machine
[118]
like a bulldozer yeah I can I can touch it I can see it I can move it from place
[125]
to place that's tangible touch tangible intangible is really just say opposite
[133]
of tangible a building now see you have to just use your common sense
[141]
like you can't press you could move some buildings but you know you can't leave
[145]
move a building but can I touch it can I see it you know I can touch the building
[151]
touch the walls can I go inside the building yes I guess you could move it
[156]
it's physical nature though a vehicle a car or a truck or whatever can I see can
[163]
I see it yes can I touch it yes can I move it yes
[169]
inventory can I can I touch the inventory can I move the inventory can I
[176]
see the inventory yes those are all examples of tangible goods has physical
[181]
form touch see and move I left out some I left out some that are like maybe but
[189]
these are like the for sure one so you know this is really this is probably for
[194]
you want to know or you want to pass an accounting test so let's just go let's
[199]
just keep her the easy ones now I think you know the best way to know is
[204]
examples so those were these are good examples of tangible assets what are
[209]
good examples of in tangible assets not physical in nature can't touch can't see
[217]
you know and I do have to say a little caveat from the intangible I mean see a
[223]
house might be like nitpicky like you don't want to be like patent is it
[229]
intangible you're like oh well I can see the patent paper we're not talking about
[233]
just a paper you got to think of what is a patent it's it's an eye it's an idea
[239]
it's an intellectual idea these are more intangible I think you could say see
[244]
tangible you could say touch tangible touch intangible is more of intellectual
[253]
right intellectual intangible and I start to the
[259]
to intellectual probably spelt that wrong but you get it I'm not that
[269]
intellectual I spelt that wrong but it's okay
[275]
not a spelling bee champ here so patent is an idea for you know can you type
[284]
it's just an idea it says hey this is my idea how to do something you're not
[290]
allowed to use this certain idea or method for you so I want to protect
[295]
myself so it's the patent is is an idea you can't really touch or move the idea
[302]
copyright lets Google search where it says one of the copyright is your so I
[307]
won't like a jackass totally although I'm looking like a jackass here copy
[313]
copyright intellectual property protects original works of authorship trademarks
[321]
is like your symbol now I know you could touch the symbol but it's like no that's
[327]
my idea that's my intellectual property of a
[330]
trademark now goodwill is a very good will is a very good example of
[336]
intangible goods meaning the goodwill is is the the aura the essence of a company
[349]
you can't really you can't really see the goodwill it's just like the name
[356]
recognition like I don't know coke Coca Cola you know everyone knows coca-cola
[362]
and stuff like that now when you're if you would buy their business they might
[367]
have tangible they have tangible goods you know all their machines all their
[373]
buildings all their inventory you know their soft drinks and stuff so all that
[380]
might add to a certain amount of money you know
[384]
like twenty billion dollars might be all their tangible assets but then they
[394]
might say oh well we're gonna simply sell it to you for four thirty billion
[400]
you know ten more billion than our physical assets because of the goodwill
[406]
because of the name recognition the brand recognition but you can't really
[410]
touch the goodwill so that's intangible so those are examples of tangible and
[417]
intangible now you're not gonna you're not going to always depreciate all
[423]
tangible assets but if you do you deplete you depreciate depreciation for
[429]
tangible assets amortization for intangible assets anyways this is
