Fixed Asset
A long-term tangible piece of property that a firm owns and uses in the production of its income and is not expected to be consumed or converted into cash any sooner than at least one year's time.
Current Assets
1. A balance sheet account that represents the value of all assets that are reasonably expected to be converted into cash within one year in the normal course of business. Current assets include cash, accounts receivable, inventory, marketable securities, prepaid expenses and other liquid assets that can be readily converted to cash.
2. In personal finance, current assets are all assets that a person can readily convert to cash to pay outstanding debts and cover liabilities without having to sell fixed assets.
In the United Kingdom, current assets are also known as "current accounts".

Answer / mohd fahim sidiqi
Asset is the property (land, machinery, cash & materials)
Current asset is the something easily convertible into cash, don't have depreciation and it is used for business operation in short terms
Like, Inventory (materials or instruments in the store)cash in hand, bank balance etc.
Fixed asset is the property which is support business operation in long terms and is not easily convertible to cash, its value is decreasing by depreciation as they are used.
usually in big companies the depreciation is recorded at the end of fiscal year.
Fixed assets are land, building, machinery, computers, furniture etc.

Answer / inyene favour
current assests are flexible and a slight or no fall in
value. that is current assets are easily converted into cach
without a significant fall in value and very vital in any
financial operation e.g cash at hand,cash at bank,bonds
andother bills.
while on the other hand,fixed assets are inflexible meaning
are not easily converted for cash and usually serve as long
term assets that is have a long live spand. e.g
machinaries,structures etc.
they are both simmilar in that they are needed for the day
to day runiing oof the buz.
and their differencies is that current assats are more
liquid than fixed assets.
