Plant assets:
Plant assets are assets which are tangible in nature and are used in a company’s operations that have a useful life of more than 1 accounting period. Plant assets are also called as plant and equipment assets. They include all the normal cost and reasonable expenditures that are spent to put that particular plant asset to use.
