If you drink a large (250ml) glass of wine, your body takes about three hours to break down the alcohol. If you drink one pint of beer, your body takes about two hours to break it down. One pint of strong lager is equivalent to three units, so this will take longer.
General Asset Differences. As a current asset, inventory is different from long-term assets in that it is typically acquired and sold within twelve months. Accounts receivable, cash and other marketable securities are other examples of current assets.
Inventory valuation. An inventory valuation allows a company to provide a monetary value for items that make up their inventory. Inventories are usually the largest current asset of a business, and proper measurement of them is necessary to assure accurate financial statements.
