Can assets become expenses over time?

Certain assets (like equipment or goodwill) can depreciated or amortized over time. Other assets (like land) are not amortized. An asset that is available to be depreciated can be expensed over time according to the associated depreciation schedule for that particular asset class. Often, a journal entry is made at the end of each year. The journal entry would reflect a credit to an asset account and a debit to an expense account.

Is equipment or goodwill allocation better when purchasing a company?

# Typically, the buyer wants to allocate as much of the purchase price as possible to assets with the fastest tax write-offs - that is, those with the shortest depreciation periods. # For this reason, the buyer generally wants to attribute most of the price to business equipment and fixtures. Usually equipment and fixtures can be depreciated over three, five, seven or 10 years. # The buyer also generally wants to assign smaller values to intangible assets, because they have a long tax write-off period, 15 years. # Goodwill may not be amortized, so a buyer emphatically will want to allocate the minimum amount to goodwill. ## Still, in transferring a trademark, goodwill must be specifically transferred as well or the trademark will be lost - so something must be allocated to goodwill.
