Fixed assets are long-term physical assets such as land, buildings, vehicles, and equipment a business uses to produce goods and services. These assets are necessary for production but will not generate cash quickly. Examples of fixed assets include computers, tools, vehicles, and land.
The purpose of fixed assets is to provide a stable foundation for businesses to operate from and to help them produce goods and services. Companies use fixed assets to build inventory, which can then be sold to customers. In addition, businesses may use fixed assets to provide services such as transportation or manufacturing.
Generally speaking, the longer a business plans to use a fixed asset, the more it will cost. This is because the asset will need to be replaced less often and may have a higher initial price tag. For this reason, businesses must carefully consider how long they plan to use each fixed asset before making a purchase.
Businesses need to track their fixed assets properly. This helps ensure that the company is aware of what it owns and can make informed decisions about how best to use these assets. Improved asset tracking also helps businesses keep tabs on depreciation expenses to report their financial results accurately.
