Tangible Assets are those assets which
have physical existence, i.e., they can be
seen and touched. A Tangible Asset is an
asset that has a finite monetary value and a
physical form.
For example:- Land and Building, Machinery,
Furniture and Fixtures, etc.
Intangible Assets are those assets which do not
have physical existence and, thus, cannot be seen
and touched. Businesses can create or acquire
such assets. While an intangible asset doesn’t
have the obvious physical value, it can prove
valuable for a firm and be critical to its long term
success or failure.
For example :- Goodwill, Trademarks/Brands,
Copyrights, Mining Rights, Licenses, etc.
Intangible Assets under Development
means (fixed) intangible assets like patents,
intellectual property rights, etc., under
Development.
Investments are those assets that either
appreciates within a stipulated time or provide
monetary benefits or additional income after a
given period of time. These investments are not
held for a purpose of reselling but are meant to
be retained in the firm.
Non-Current Investments are of two types:-
1. Trade Investments- These are made by a
company in shares or Debentures.
2. Other Investments- These are the
investments other than Trade investments,
such as investments in Property.
