1) Definition of Asset : An Asset is a resource with economic value that an individual,corporation or country owns or controls with the expectation that it will provide a future benefit

Assets are reported on a company's balance sheet and or bought are created to increase firm's value or benefit the firm's operations

An Asset can be thought of as something that in future can generate the cashflow reduce expenses or improve sales regardless of whether it's a manufacturing equipment or patent.

2) As per the definition $ 1 million would not be qualified as an asset therefore he can't show the same in Balance sheet

As it came with the sale of business it should be shown under relisation account and surplus in the realisation should be transfer to shareholders.
