Acquisition of Property, Plant, and Equipment
Historical cost measures the cash or cash equivalent price of obtaining the asset and bringing it to
the location and condition necessary for its intended use.
Main reasons for historical cost valuation:
•
Historical cost is reliable
•
Companies should not anticipate gains and losses but should recognize gains and losses only
when asset is sold
