Es un balance
Bienes de uso
Fixed Assets o Property, plant and equipment
Se usan las dos traducciones. ¿Hay alguna razón por la que debería usar una o la otra?
Había decidido usar "Fixed Assets" en todo el doc y ahora veo que hay balances que tienen las dos, glosarios que tienen los dos. Por ejemplo, traducen "bienes de uso" como "Property, plant and equipment" y después "amortización de bienes de uso" como "depreciation of fixed assets"
¡¡Gracias!!

Thanks, Taña. I've found that they're used interchangeably by a great number of authors. I'll add more notes to my reference.
