a. The asset is revalued every year b. The fair value of the asset is determined by a professional valuer c. There is an active market in that type of asset d. The revaluation model is also used for tangible assets
Intangibles are not subject to revaluation but are subject to impairment test. One typical Intangibles is Goodwill on Acquisition. The impairment on cash generating asset will hit the goodwill if the value of the specific asset in question becomes nil as a result of impairment, the next to receive impairment will be the goodwill such that remaining impairment will hit the goodwill and if the goodwill become nil and there is still impairment than it should hit all the remaining assets on a pro-rata basis. The is nothing like active market for intangibles and only purchased intangible should be so recognised and tested for impairment purposes periodically. Mohammed Tetengi Elomi
