Physical Assets financial definition of Physical Assets. Physical Assets finance term by the Free Online Dictionary.

Tangible asset

An asset whose value depends on particular physical properties. These include reproducible assets such as buildings or machinery and non-reproducible assets such as land, a mine, or a work of art. Also called real assets. Converse of: Intangible asset

Tangible Asset

In accounting, any asset that can be seen and touched. Tangible assets include things that can be reproduced, such as widgets or a widget factory, and things that cannot be reproduced, such as the land upon which the widget factory is built. Tangible assets are comparatively easy to price, and therefore they are often used to express the value of a company. However, because they do not include intangible but still valuable things like patents and brand recognition, they may not truly express a company's value. Less commonly, tangible assets are called hard assets. See also: Intangible Assets.

A physical asset such as inventories, machinery, buildings, and land.

Investopedia explains Tangible Asset

This is the opposite of an intangible asset, such as a patent, a trademark, or goodwill. Whether an asset is tangible or intangible is not inherently good or bad. For example, a well-known brand name can be very valuable to a company. In contrast, if a product is produced solely for a trademark, at some point the company will need to have “real” physical assets to produce it.
