Fixed assets are assets that are not to be sold to customers, cannot be quickly converted to cash and are used to create economic benefit by use in the production or service process in the longer term. Examples of fixed assets include land, buildings, plant and equipment. Many capital-intensive companies measure their performance based on the return achieved on the capital employed in the business, and fixed assets would form a part of the capital employed. See also Asset, Current.
