WHAT DOES FIXED ASSETS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Fixed asset

Fixed assets, also known as "tangible assets" or property, plant, and equipment, is a term used in accounting for assets and property that cannot easily be converted into cash. This can be compared with current assets such as cash or bank accounts, which are described as liquid assets. In most cases, only tangible assets are referred to as fixed. IAS 16 defines Fixed Assets as assets whose future economic benefit is probable to flow into the entity, whose cost can be measured reliably. Moreover, a fixed/non-current asset can also be defined as an asset not directly sold to a firm's consumers/end-users. As an example, a baking firm's current assets would be its inventory, the value of sales owed to the firm via credit, cash held in the bank, etc. Its non-current assets would be the oven used to bake bread, motor vehicles used to transport deliveries, cash registers used to handle cash payments, etc. While these non-current assets have value, they are not directly sold to consumers and cannot be easily converted to cash.
