How are assets classified?

That question makes more sense if it is more specific. But to answer that simply, assets are considered as entity's resources so it is recorded in the balance sheet statement with the title ASSETS, and it is broken down into account titles that make up the ASSETS like Cash, Accounts receivable, Marketable Securities, Inventory, etc. Everything that the entity possesses with or without physical substance and that which will bring economic inflows to the entity will be part of Assets. Generally, those mentioned accounts are measured based on their market values or face values.
