prepaids · Balance sheet - assets
- Definition
- Records payments already made for goods or services to be consumed later on the balance sheet. An asset is not automatically cash or market value: it is a controlled resource whose quality depends on liquidity, recoverability, turnover, impairments and usefulness for generating future sales.
- Calculation
- Pagos realizados antes de recibir el bien o servicio correspondiente.
- Uses
- Useful for assessing liquidity, capital intensity and balance-sheet quality. Especially important in retail, industrials, banks, insurers, REITs and asset-heavy models; it can understate internally built software, brands or networks. Cross-check turnover, impairments, age, ROA, ROIC and cash flow.
