- The allowance method estimates the amount of uncollectible accounts to be matched to related revenues, based on historical experience.
- Inventory is measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with costs including purchase, conversion, and bringing inventories to their present condition.
- The cost of inventories is assigned by specific identification or first-in, first-out/wighted average cost formula for interchangeable items.
- When inventories are sold, their carrying amount is recognized as an expense in the period when the related revenue is recognized.
- Write-down of inventories to net realizable value and all losses are recognized as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs.
- Fixed assets include tangible assets like property, plants, and equipment, and intangible assets like trademarks and patents.
- Acquired fixed assets should be recorded at their actual cost, which includes purchase price, applicable taxes, commissions, legal fees, and installation costs.
- Depreciation is the process of allocating the cost of a fixed asset over its useful life, and is recorded as an expense and a decrease in the asset's value.
- Impairing an asset is required if its net book value is higher than the recoverable value, resulting in an extraordinary loss of value expense.
