Dear Friends

 

when we purchase software, is it a fixed asset or intangible asset?

 

what is intangible asset - something we cant see touch?

 

we see software working - shouldnt it be a fixed asset.

 

if it is a fixed asset how will we calcualte depreciation on it.

 

some softwares have licenses like for 1 or 2 years after which we need to renew it.

please advise after taking above into account.

 

suppose a company buys a SAP software for Rs. 50 lakhs on 10th April.

 

what will be the entries with depreciation.

 

thanks
