Define Long lived Assets. Why are they considered to be a "bundle of future services"?
Long-lived assets are noncurrent assets, which a business retains beyond one year, not for sale, but for use in the course of normal operations. Long-lived assets include land in use, plant and equipment, natural resources, and certain intangibles such as a patent used in operating the business. Long-lived assets are acquired because of the future use that is expected of them. Thus, they may be thought of as a bundle of future services to be used over a period of time to earn revenue. As those services are used, as in the case of a machine, the cost of the asset is allocated as a periodic expense (i.e., matched with revenue).
