Why are the intangibles patents and goodwill reviewed annually?
Answer-Patents and Goodwill are intangible assets As goodwill could not be amortized but it must be evaluated annually to determine impairment loss.
Patent is valid for limited number of years. So a business must amortize it. The process of amortization requires decreasing the value of the asset annually by an amount equal to the value of the asset divided by the number of years of the patent’s useful life.So every year a business records a decrease in value of patent value as a amortization expenses equal to decrease.
