| danlan | I think it reflects the conservatism. |
| danlan | It abandons historical cost and reflects conservatism, check question 5 also. |
| UUchi | aha nice danlan i was confused :-) |
| cong | Under IAS, inventory is valued at the minimum of (historical cost, net realizable value). Under GAAP, inventory is valued at the minimum of (historical, market cost). Reversal is possible but subejct to the original write-down value under IAS and prohibited under GAPP. |
| gill15 | If LCM is valued at lower of historical cost or market, how is it that it abandons the historical cost principle? It's using it? Maybe because if the market value is lower than it will abandon the historical cost and use the market value? |
| Shaan23 | That does seem odd. Cost is historical |
I passed! I did not get a chance to tell you before the exam - but your site was excellent. I will definitely take it next year for Level II.
