Assets Definition

From Wikipedia, the
free encyclopedia In financial
accounting, assets are economic resources owned by business or company.
Anything tangible or intangible that one possesses, usually considered as
applicable to the payment of one's debts is considered an asset.
Simplistically stated, assets are things of value that can be readily
converted into cash (although cash itself is also considered an asset). |

The balance sheet of a firm records the
monetary[2] value of the assets owned by the firm. It is money and other
valuables belonging to an individual or business. [3] Two major asset
classes are tangible assets and intangible assets. Tangible assets contain
various subclasses, including current assets and fixed assets.[4] Current
assets include inventory, while fixed assets include such items as buildings
and equipment.[5] Intangible assets are nonphysical resources and rights
that have a value to the firm because they give the firm some kind of
advantage in the market place. Examples of intangible assets are goodwill,
copyrights, trademarks, patents and computer programs,[5] and financial
assets, including such items as accounts receivable, bonds and stocks. |
