In financial accounting, an asset is an economic resource.

Anything tangible or intangible that can be owned or controlled to produce value and that is held to have positive economic value is considered an asset.

Simply stated, assets represent value of ownership that can be converted into cash (although cash itself is also considered an asset).

Manufacturing is the value added to production of merchandise for use or sale using labour and machines, tools, chemical and biological processing, or formulation.

The term may refer to a range of human activity, from handicraft to high tech, but is most commonly applied to industrial production, in which raw materials are transformed into finished goods on a large scale.

Such finished goods may be sold to other manufacturers for the production of other, more complex products, such as aircraft, household appliances or automobiles, or sold to wholesalers, who in turn sell them to retailers, who then sell them to end users and consumers.
