Joe Soap is studying for his exams however is struggling with IAS 38. He is writing next week and trying to cram in the work however it does not seem to be working out. Please can you help him with this section by summarising and/ or answering the following questions: 1. An intangible asset is an asset so does this mean if the definition of an asset is met, we then have an intangible asset? (6) 2. My mum who is an accountant insists that my dad's fishing license is an intangible asset. My dad and I think she is wrong as we touch the fishing licence so it cannot be intangible. (3) 3. I always thought research & development was one "term" however my study notes separate research and development into different activities. What is the difference between research and development?
