in the assets of a company
that remain after

Intermediate Accounting 3 The Balance Sheet and Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity
3,Measurement of the elements of the
balance sheet
The FASB has identified five alternative valuation
methods,
? Historical cost
? Current cost (or current replacement cost)
? Current market value (or current exit value)
? Net realizable value (or expected exit value)
? Present value
Intermediate Accounting 3 The Balance Sheet and Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity
valuation methods
The historical cost of an
asset is the exchange price
in the transaction in which
the asset was acquired.
Intermediate Accounting 3 The Balance Sheet and Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity
valuation methods
The current cost of an
asset is the amount of cash
(or equivalent) that would
be required on the date of
the balance sheet to obtain
the same asset.
Intermediate Accounting 3 The Balance Sheet and Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity
valuation methods
The current market value
of an asset is the amount
of cash (or equivalent) that
could be obtained on the
date of the balance sheet
by selling the asset in an
orderly liquidation.
Intermediate Accounting 3 The Balance Sheet and Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity
valuation methods
The net realizable value
of an asset is the amount
of cash (or equivalent) into
which the asset is expected
to be converted in the
ordinary operations of the
company,less any
expected conversion costs.
Intermediate Accounting 3 The Balance Sheet and Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity
valuation methods
The present value of an
asset is the net amount of
future cash inflows into
which the asset is expected to
be converted less the present
value of future cash outflows
necessary to obtain those
inflows.
