Explanation of Solution
Identifiable intangibles: The identifiable intangibles are the intangible assets that can be easily separated from the company, and it would be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged. Examples: trademarks, patents, copyrights, franchises, customer lists and relationships, non-compete agreements, and licenses.
The book value of H Company’s identifiable net assets differs from its market value for the following reason:
- Some of the assets of Company H are listed on the
balance sheet at amounts other than their market value. For instance: The marketable securities are listed at cost and not at a fair value, likewise the inventory is valued using LIFO, instead of FIFO. The land is reported at cost but not at its market value, if it would have reported at its market value, then the cost would be much higher. Equipment is reported at depreciated cost while its market value is much higher. - Company H has a valuable internally developed trademark that is not recorded.
- An unidentifiable intangible asset (goodwill) exists. However it is not reported on H Company’s books.
