20. Measurement of the Elements of the Balance Sheet
The historical cost of an asset is the exchange price in the transaction in which the asset was acquired.
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.
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.
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.
The present value of an asset is the net amount of discounted expected cash inflows less the discounted expected cash outflows related to the asset.

21. Limitations of the Balance Sheet
Use of historical cost to value assets and liabilities does not help assess the likely amounts of future cash flows.
“Human resources” such as high-quality management or highly motivated workers are not included as assets.

In periods of inflation, the amounts listed do not show the “purchasing power” of assets and liabilities.

Prepaid items include insurance, rent, office supplies and taxes that will not be converted into cash but will be consumed.

27. Current Liabilities
Current liabilities are those obligations whose liquidation is expected to require the use of existing current assets, or the creation of other current liabilities.
