    Dear professor,

    I have a doubt, I am not sure what it means by “capitalised” – like capitalised Intangible Assets, we must have inflow of economic benefit, ittention to complete the assets and to use it or sell it, expected to be profitable.

    Am I also correct that Itanglible Asset generated by business can not be capitalised (goodwill and brands)

    Thank you!

    If something is capitalised then it means that it is treated as being a non-current asset.

    Intangible assets can be capitalised if they were purchased (e.g. purchased goodwill), but not if internally generated.

    This is explained in my free lectures on intangible assets.
