Question

A company purchases packaging materials, as well as a new packing and storage warehouse where these materials will be used. Should the materials and warehouse be classified as current or fixed assets?

(Points : 1)       Both are current assets because some or all of their value will be used within one year.
      They are both fixed assets because they are used in production, which is an ongoing operation for this business.
      The packing materials are current assets because they will be used within one year; the warehouse is a fixed asset because it has a life longer than one year.
      The materials are current assets because of their short life; the warehouse is a liability because it is not completely paid for.

Explanation / Answer

The packing materials are current assets because they will be used within one year; the warehouse is a fixed asset because it has a life longer than one year.
