käyttöomaisuusinvestointeja

Käyttöomaisuus refers to the tangible and intangible assets that a company uses in its operations to generate revenue over an extended period. These assets are not intended for sale in the ordinary course of business but are held for their productive use. The term translates directly from Finnish as "fixed assets" or "property, plant, and equipment" in English accounting contexts.

Examples of tangible käyttöomaisuus include land, buildings, machinery, vehicles, and furniture. Intangible käyttöomaisuus can encompass patents, trademarks, licenses, and goodwill. These assets are typically recorded on a company's balance sheet at their historical cost.

Over time, tangible käyttöomaisuus is subject to depreciation, a systematic allocation of its cost over its useful life. Intangible assets may be amortized in a similar fashion. The carrying value of these assets on the balance sheet reflects their original cost less accumulated depreciation or amortization.

The classification of an asset as käyttöomaisuus depends on its intended use and expected lifespan. Assets that are expected to be consumed or sold within a year are generally classified as current assets, not käyttöomaisuus. Decisions regarding the acquisition, disposal, and management of käyttöomaisuus are crucial for a company's long-term financial health and operational efficiency. Proper accounting for käyttöomaisuus is essential for accurate financial reporting and tax compliance.
