Goodwill is not depreciated in the traditional sense, as it is considered an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life. Instead, it is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if there are indicators of potential impairment. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized, but it does not undergo systematic depreciation like tangible assets.

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.
