Asset means:
anything owned that has value; any interest in real property or personal property that can be used for payment of debts. Assets are listed on Schedule L of the corporate tax return.
See Corporate Tax in the U.S. Legal Encyclopedia and Corporate Tax in the International Legal Encyclopedia.
Anything owned by an individual or a business, which has cash, commercial, or exchange value. Assets may consist of specific property or claims against others.
Assignment means:
the transfer of rights under an insurance policy to another person or business. For example, to secure a debt, it is not uncommon for the policyowner to transfer to the creditor the owner's right to borrow on the cash value of the policy. Life insurance policies are freely assignable to secure loans and notes; property and casualty insurance policies are not. Creditors such as banks often have printed assignment forms on hand at the time of making loans. The assignment or transfer of an insurance policy may cause the future insurance proceeds to be taxable income.
An assignment is the legal transfer of rights, property, or interest to another person called an assignee. You cannot avoid tax on income by assigning the income to another person.

Asset Depreciation Range means:
a limitation on the period over which assets may be depreciated. The ADR generally applies to property purchased between 1971 and 1981, allowing depreciable lives 20% longer or shorter than the guidelines provided by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service; it also provides the maximum amounts that can be spent annually on assets and still be deductible repairs. Former IRC (check if this IRC provision is current here) §167.

Farm buildings purchased before 1981 may be depreciated over 25 years or within a range of 20 to 30 years, according to the asset depreciation range. Up to 5% of the cost can be spent annually and be treated as repair, not as capital improvement.
