Question
What are fictitious assets?
Answer in Brief
Solution
- Fictitious assets are not real assets that have tangible value, but rather expenses or losses incurred but not yet written off.
- These include preliminary expenses, advertising costs, and accumulated losses.
- They are represented on the asset side of the balance sheet as non-current assets, even though they bring no future financial benefit.
- Their goal is to be gradually written off against profits over time.
