Answer 1

Answer:  Assets are listed in descending order of liquidity

Explanation:

According to accountant principles, the assets are always listed starting with the most liquid asset. It has the special purpose of helping to the shareholders and company owners to know what assets are easily sold and become in cash flow. The most liquid asset is always the cash, it is the first in the list. Commonly the second asset listed is the inventory, then we have ththe realizable value ( it includes bonds, stocks and other stock market elements), followed by the elements available for sell, at the end we can find listed long term resources including fixed assets and intangible assets.
