An asset is put on the balance sheet to show an identified estate of an enterprise at bookvalue. Examples of assets: cash, buildings and equipment, patents, participations in other companies etc. In general, assets have to be paid for. The liability part of the balance sheet shows the source of funds (equity and/or debt) used to retain the asset.
