The relationship of theory to measurement is very important. Measurement is the assignment of numbers to the attributes or properties of objects being measured. There are several valuation approaches in accounting. Based on your research, discuss arguments for and arguments against the use of historical cost, general price-level adjustment, exit value (net realizable value), and replacement cost ( entry value). Using the FASB Codification or any credible peer reviewed source, discuss one old, current or proposed accounting standard for each of the valuation approaches historical cost, general price- level adjustment, exit value (net realizable value).
