§ 34.40 DEFINITIONS.
   For the purposes of this subchapter, the following definition shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.
   CAPITAL OUTLAYS. Expenditures which benefit both the current and future fiscal periods are considered CAPITAL OUTLAYS. This includes costs
of acquiring land or structures, construction or improvement of buildings, structures or other fixed assets, and equipment purchases having an appreciable and calculable period of usefulness. These are expenditures resulting in the acquisition of or addition to the government’s general fixed assets.
   FIXED ASSETS. Tangible assets of a durable nature employed in the operating activities of the unit and that are relatively permanent are FIXED ASSETS. These assets are not held for sale in the ordinary course of business. This road group is usually separated into classes according to the physical characteristics of the items (such as land, buildings, improvements other than buildings, machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures).
   TANGIBLE ASSETS. An asset that can be observed by one or more of the physical senses is referred to as a TANGIBLE ASSET.
