Placed In Service means the asset is?

• A. In Use For Intended Purpose
• B. Ready For Shipment
• C. Signed By Vendor
• D. Fully Deployed

Answer: (A)

Placed in service means the asset is ready and available for use in its intended operation. It has been installed, tested, and is capable of functioning for its purpose, not merely manufactured or shipped. This is the point at which the asset becomes part of the active operations and, for many accounting contexts, when depreciation begins. The other statuses describe steps before or outside operational use: ready for shipment is before delivery and installation; signed by the vendor refers to paperwork rather than actual use; fully deployed implies a broader rollout beyond a single asset.
