Document Summary

The logical choice would be cost, the amount of cash or equivalent that was paid to acquire the asset. The simplest approach is to show the property at its original cost, something referred to as historical cost. This is the amount of cash, or its equivalent, that could be received from the current sale of the asset. In an income statement prepared on the cash basis, revenues are recognized when cash is received. For example, 1000$ owed would not be recognized as revenue until the cash is collected: on an accrual basis, revenue is recognized when it is earned. A statement of cash flows provides this information: remember, accrual basis is for preparing balance sheets and income. Statements: essentially, the income statement reflects revenues actually earned by the company, regardless of whether cash has been collected. The statement of cash flows shows the actual cash inflows and outflows during a period of time.
