Long-lived or capital assets are used in the normal operating activities of the business and are expected to provide benefits for a period in excess of one year. Long-lived assets covered in this chapter consist of three types: (a) property, plant, and equipment (PPE); (b) intangible assets; and (c) goodwill.
