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.
A fixed asset is an item that is used by a company in the operation of business. These items are usually expensive in nature and do not include inventory for resale or repair or spare parts inventory. Typically, an item is not considered to be an asset to be capitalized unless it has a useful life of at least one year.
