Why is goodwill called an intangible asset?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it has no physical form but has value

An intangible asset is an asset that does not have a physical or material form but provides economic benefit to the business. Goodwill represents advantages such as business reputation, customer loyalty, favourable location, efficient management, or the ability to earn profits above the normal return. These advantages cannot be touched or measured like a machine, yet they can increase the firm’s earning capacity and sale value. Therefore option A correctly states both essential features: no physical form and measurable value. Cash is a tangible monetary asset, machinery is a tangible fixed asset, and a bank loan is a liability rather than an asset. Thus options B, C, and D confuse goodwill with unrelated items.
