Give an example of a "durable item".

A "durable item" in the context of property accountability refers to items that are not classified as expendable, meaning they are not used up or thrown away after a single use, but rather have a lifespan that extends beyond a year. They typically include tools or equipment that remain functional over time and can be reused.

The choice identifying tools or equipment that last for more than one year but are not classified as nonexpendable clearly encapsulates the definition of durable items. These items are not expected to be consumed quickly, and their classification as durable rather than nonexpendable helps in property management and accountability processes, distinguishing them from items that are regularly replaced or discarded.

The other choices do not align with the definition of durable items. Items meant to be used and thrown away are classified as expendable. Furniture that lasts for more than five years may also be nonexpendable, but the definition of durable items focuses more on the one-year threshold without the additional classification criteria. Similarly, clothing issued to personnel does not typically fall under the durable category as it usually pertains to expendable or consumables. Therefore, the answer that highlights tools or equipment fitting this specific definition of durability is accurate and properly aligns with the guidelines set forth in AR
