Question:
Under which main head, the computer software will be shown in the company's balance sheet?
Options:
Non-current liabilities
Non-current asset
Current liabilities
Current asset
Correct Answer:
Non-current asset
Explanation:
Computer software is considered an intangible non-current asset classified alongside other fixed assets like property, plant, and equipment. Even though it is not tangible or physically present, it is considered an important non-current asset because it derives utility for a fairly long time span, mostly for more than 12 months. In the same manner, this is a high cost that the company incurs, and therefore, it makes sense for organizations to capitalize on this particular cost.
