1)If license given for 5yrs and after that it can be renewed through nominal amount .
In such case either the amount to be given for renewal would be added in license cost at intial recognition or it will be expensed when incurred.
2)License acquired and its is expected that its value vl increase due to market condition
Can we increase the value of intangible assets purly because of market condition or not.October 26, 2013 at 12:28 pm #143754Where the probability is that an extension at a nominal value will be taken up, the cost of the nominal value should be included within the lease calculations. However, given that the value IS nominal – it’s hardly likely to have a material affect on the figures.
No, you cannot recognise the potential increase in the value of an intangible non-current asset merely because of expectations. Whatever happened to your “prudence” concept!

October 28, 2013 at 5:26 pm #143954Not as a result of market forces, nor even as a result of extra money thrown at it to maintain its value. That extra money may help in preventing / delaying impairment but subsequent expenditure may not be capitalised
