Amortization of Intangible Assets. To illustrate the amortization of an intangible asset, imagine XYZ Biotech spends $30 million dollars on a patent with a useful life of 15 years. Theoretically, to account for the expense over a 15-year period, XYZ Biotech records $2 million each year as an amortization expense.
Copyright No. 2 for $19,200 should be capitalized. Because the useful life is indefinite, copyright No. 2 should be tested at least annually for impairment using a fair value test. It would be reflected on the December 31, 2007 balance sheet at its cost of $19,200.he $190,000 should be expensed as research and development expense in 2006. The $91,000 is expensed as selling and promotion expense in 2006. The $45,000 of costs to legally obtain the patent should be capitalized and amortized over the useful or legal life of the patent, whichever is shorter.
