Dear aspirant!

Hope you are doing well !

A fixed asset, or noncurrent asset, typically is an actual, physical item that a company buys and uses to make products or servicea that it then sells to generate revenue. For example, machinery, a building, or a truck that's involved in a company's operations would be considered a fixed asset.

Hope it helps you !

Thanking you!

Hello aspirant,

Fixed assets are long-term tangible assets that businesses employ to make money. Due to their long usable lives, fixed assets bring the company long-term financial gain. Property, Plant, and Equipment, which appears as a line item on the balance sheet, designates fixed assets, also referred to as capital assets. Fixed assets are difficult to turn into cash.

There are two types of fixed assets:

  1. Tangible Assets
  2. Intangible Assets

Thank you

Hope this information helps you.
