Tangible Assets
An asset with a finite monetary value and physical form is known as a tangible asset.
Tangible assets have two categories: Current Assets and Fixed Assets.
Intangible Assets
An intangible asset is not present in a physical form. Some examples include
goodwill, brand recognition, and intellectual rights of property. They can be created or acquired by
businesses.
Types of Liabilities:
Current Liabilities:
The company’s current liabilities are its short-term financial obligations. They must get settled in
cash within the operating cycle of the company. Current liabilities have a life cycle of one year.
Within that calendar year, the user can pay them with current assets.
Long-term Liabilities:
Long-term liabilities are based on the long-term financial obligations of a business. They are due
over a calendar year and do not require immediate clearance.
Contingent Liabilities:
Contingent liabilities may or may not arise due to a particular event. Thus, contingent liabilities
are potential liabilities.
