What are Assets? (Let's Break Them Down)

James, keep doing this. You have a lot of knowledge, humor, and passion in explaining difficult concepts in the easiest way possible. You. Are. Shredding. This! Thanks for all you do!

I’m preparing for an MBA and as I don’t have financial background, I did find this video really clear and useful! Tnks

[@LIBICU812]

You're a breath of fresh air. I'll have to rewatch most of your videos to get it down but thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@AccountingStuff]

Thanks, that's kind of you to say :) Hope it's sinking in!

[@knuckleskaboom]

nobody goes into defintions as deep as you do and I love the way you explain the whys and the hows! please keep it coming....

Will do! More on the way...

[@girasol9891]

Wow, I really love the way you edited the video, good quality, easy to understand. Thank you a lot, sir

[@AccountingStuff]

Glad to hear that you enjoyed the edit! I spend far too long on it!! You are very welcome, good luck with your ACCA exams!

[@pubgmobileclashroyale4725]

Hello bro whats up. Wasn't it hard to study ACCA? How long did it take?

[@daffy1981]

Glad I discovered this channel. I have studied accounting 20 years ago, but now I'm a developer. It's very interesting to refresh knowledge and learn new things. Very good presentation! :)

[@AccountingStuff]

Great to hear you're finding these useful!

[@bermarienair5956]

Hi James. Im an instant fan. Accounting videos are usually boring. But youre doing it with so much enthusiasm and so engaging. Plus teaching it with so much ease. Im learning a lot and looking forward to more videos. Cheers!

[@AccountingStuff]

Glad to hear it Bermarie!! Plenty more vids on their way soon

[@ninaconcu2000]

thank you for making those videos! i just started studying and accounting is one of the class i struggle with... you explain it very clear and organized, it's awesome :) also as a non-native speaker I appreciate the subtitles for better understanding so much!

[@AccountingStuff]

No worries, glad to hear you appreciate the subtitles!

[@maribelezenwanne9730]

Love it

[@jjsayshi6721]

Thanks for this. I swear the textbook my accounting class has employed is actively trying to make this stuff harder to understand than it actually is. You've explained assets more completely and easier to understand in 10 mins than Wiley Plus has in 4 chapters.

[@gillian1315]

Your videos are absolutely amazing, they're really helping me get through my Accounting unit. I also can't get over how great your skin looks; its glowing!

[@AccountingStuff]

Thanks Gillian, you are too kind!

[@191125]

Please make a series for small business owners where you go deeper into the concepts in these video and show actual examples. Like explaining the tax implications of leasing the building for the majority of its useful life and when it's a good idea to capitalize non tangible assets. Also please make a ratio analysis series.

[@AccountingStuff]

Thanks for your requests!

[@theace619]

[@stacymogle1243]

James, you are AMAZING! Seriously. I am studying for my FMLI and 3 of of the books are all about business accounting (which I have NO prior knowledge of!). The struggle is REAL so I actually googled this phrase: explain accounting for asset transaction to me like i'm a child. And your video came up! I, of course, started on the first one but really felt the need to thank you here. You have done in a few videos what weeks of studying these stupid books could not do - actually TEACH me! So {{hugs}} to you and thank you for your AWESOME videos!

[@AccountingStuff]

Hey Stacy, it's great to hear that accounting is starting to click for you. All the best with your studies!

[@JL7ify]

I just came across your channel as I am trying to prepare to retake my Financial Accounting. I am intending on going back to school and pursuing a Masters in Professional Accounting, but my undergrad is in Psychology. Sounds crazy I think, but I intend on starting this Spring...I need several prerequisite courses and I will be starting with those. 5 years ago I took Financial Accounting and passed it, but I only took because I thought I needed two minors to graduate......since it's been so long I feel I need to retake. I truly want to be successful soooo in searching for any and all tutorials I came upon you. I love them. I understood a lot. Thank you for your dedication and the amazing grace with which you teach. Just today I spent two hours listening and seeing your videos and taking notes. Thank you sooo much!

[@AccountingStuff]

Best of luck in your retake! I hope it all works out for you

A good way to explain prepayment being an asset is that when you sell a car that has a years worth of registration, you can charge extra depending on how much the rego for that term would cost. You can include most prepayments in the sale amount should you sell your business, therefore an asset.

[@AccountingStuff]

That's a good one!
