Disposing of an asset

When the continuation of depreciating a long term tangible asset at a diminishing value becomes unprofitable or purposeless, so the company decides to dispose of the asset at a stipulated cost which is below book value resulting in a loss which is then offsetted against the companies profits. A transaction of this nature is usually made when the asset becomes dormant and ineffective, even though it may well still be in the beginning of its life expectancy. The disposing of as asset is also written off the Balance Sheet as a long term investment and making way for a more effective and valuable long term asset.

If there is capital to be made on disposing of an asset, then both parties agree to a value where under the table cash transactions are made (off the books) and a much lower value is agreed upon (on the books) which is then recorded as a loss and offsetted against the companies net profit.

Alan Bond: "What do you mean you got rid of him, hope you didn't kill him"
Rupert Murdoch: "Nah, there's no gain from killing him, I sold him to the opposition and i made a profit"
Alan Bond: "Ahhhh, now I can see how Wendi Deng has asianized you"
Rupert Murdoch: "What do you mean by that?"
Alan Bond: "Nothing!, you know hoe Asians are carnivorous when it comes to money, it looks like it's rubbing off on you"
Rupert Murdoch: " Yep, learn Alan, disposing of an asset requires a lot of foot work if you know what I mean".

Digital asset

Digital asset is an information resource derivative of the right to a value and circulating in the distributed ledger in the form of a unique identifier.

The term takes into account the essential semantic features of the phenomenon under consideration and is characterized by four components: economic, legal, information, value.

1. Economic component is represented by a unique identifier.

2. Legal component is represented in the legal field by a derivative of the right. A digital asset is not the right to a value in its interpretation, but it has attributes of a derivative of the right to a value.
3. Information component is represented in the IT field by an information resource circulating in the distributed ledger. Information on a value presented in a digital form has such main properties of an information resource as:

a) information is structured according to certain parameters and categories;

b) information is recorded on a digital medium;

c) information can be stored, transmitted, exchanged, used, etc. In addition, a digital asset in our understanding has an additional property – information on a value is formed by the owner of this value.
4. Value component is represented in the field of tangible and intangible assets by the “value” component. Digital asset is a kind of a guaranteed right to claim a certain value inherent in this digital asset. In other words, a digital asset serves as a digital display of value.
Therefore, a digital asset is a set of digital (binary) data that are autonomous, uniquely identifiable and have a certain value.
