17. Measurement of the Elements of the Balance Sheet
Present Value
Net Realizable Value
Current Market Value
Current Cost
Historical Cost

18. 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 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.

19. Measurement of the Elements of the Balance Sheet
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 present value of an asset is the net amount of discounted expected cash inflows less the discounted expected cash outflows related to the asset.

20. Measurement of the Elements of the Balance Sheet-Liabilities
Initially, the amount of cash received when an obligation was incurred (historical proceeds); subsequent to incurrence, the historical amount may be adjusted for amortization.
The current proceeds is the amount of cash that would be obtained if the same obligation were incurred.
The current market value of a liability is the amount of cash that would be required currently to eliminate the liability.

21. Measurement of the Elements of the Balance Sheet-Liabilities
The net realizable value of a liability is the amount of cash expected to be paid to eliminate the liability in due course of business.
The present value of future cash outflows to eliminate the liability in due course of business.

22. 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.
Many of the amounts that a company reports are based on estimates.
In periods of inflation, the amounts listed do not show the “purchasing power” of assets and liabilities.

23. Current Assets
Current assets are cash and other assets that are expected to be converted into cash, sold, or consumed within one year or the normal operating cycle, whichever is longer.
