Answer 1

Capital Asset:

For business point of view, a capital asset is a type of asset which is having a useful life of more than a year, that is not intended for sale in the regular course of business.

It is a fixed asset which is employed as a way of generating income. Depreciation is also claimed on it. It is useful in improvement of our business.

For example, if someone buys a building for its office purpose, then the building is considered as a capital asset, but if someone buys a building for selling purpose or for rental purpose, then it is not considered as capital asset.
