Hello I have a question regarding the calculated intangibles method used to value the intangible assets of an entity. It is said that this method can be used to value the intangibles that are not recognised in the financial statements. Does this mean that intangibles such as goodwill that is recognised in the financial statements are not included in the value that is calculated by this method?
Yes, it calculates an overall value of intangibles. It won’t throw out a value for goodwill itself as there will be other intangibles within the business.
