No, capital assets are listed as PP&E (Property, Plant, & Equipment). An account receivable is either a current asset or a long-term asset, not a capital asset.

If your gross sales price is more than your adjusted cost basis of the capital asset you would have a gain on the sale of a capital asset. If you owned the asset for more than one year and it is sold at a gain then you would have LTCG. (long term capital gain)

Inventory is usually stocked for short term time period for one to three months so it is a current asset and never be considered as long term asset.

The holding period (owned) one year or less and sold would be short term. Held (owned) more than one year and sold would be long term. Capital gains and losses are classified as long-term or short-term. If you hold the asset for more than one year before you dispose of it, your capital gain or loss is long-term. If you hold it one year or less, your capital gain or loss is short-term.

Here is useful information from Answers.com: In terms of accounting, an expense is considered to be a capital expenditure when the asset is a newly purchased capital asset or an investment that improves the useful life of an existing capital asset. If an expense is a capital expenditure, it needs to be capitalized; this requires the company to spread the cost of the expenditure over the useful life of the asset. If, however, the expense is one that maintains the asset at its current condition, the cost is deducted fully in the year of the expense. In your case, budget the allocated cost disbursement over a three-month period (for a quarterly budget).

Working Capital is the difference between Current Assets and Current Liabilities.Net Worth is Total Assets -Total Liabilities current asset-current Liability=Working Capital working Capital Plus+Fixed Asset-LongTerm Liabilities = Net Worth in another word: (Current Asset+Fixed Asset)-(current Liability+Long Term Liability)= Net Worth Now you got it ?
If you hold the asset for MORE than one year before you dispose of it, and you have a gain on the sale your capital gain would be a LONG TERM CAPITAL GAIN (LTCG)
I am going to answer the question as asked, but I suspect it might not be what you really want to know. There is no capital gains tax on an inheritance. But if you inherited a capital asset and later sell it for more than its value on the date of death (or alternate valuation date set by the executor of the estate), the difference is a taxable capital gain. Your basis in any property you inherit is reset to its Fair Market Value on the date of death (or alternate valuation date). Your holding period for inherited property is always long term.
