If you drink a large (250ml) glass of wine, your body takes about three hours to break down the alcohol. If you drink one pint of beer, your body takes about two hours to break it down. One pint of strong lager is equivalent to three units, so this will take longer.
General Asset Differences. As a current asset, inventory is different from long-term assets in that it is typically acquired and sold within twelve months. Accounts receivable, cash and other marketable securities are other examples of current assets.
Fixed Assets less Accumulated Depreciation. Fixed assets is the all-inclusive term for the wide range of long-term operating assets used by a business â from buildings and heavy machinery to office furniture. Except for the cost of land, the cost of a fixed asset is spread over its estimated useful life to the business; the amount allocated to each period is called depreciation expense.
