    Dear Chris,
    I am a bit confused with definition of measurement bases. Could you confirm that the following definitions are right:

    1) Current cost Cash that would be paid to replace the asset at a current value
    It is alternative to historical cost but taking into account the inflation
    Current value is the market value but taking into account the age of the asset

    2) Fair Value = Realisable Value The amount the item could be disposed of in an ordinary transaction
    Net realisable value =Sales proceeds less any costs involved in selling

    3) Net replacement cost = Replacement cost – Depreciation

    4) Present value is discounted value of future cash flows

    For me the definition “Current value is the market value but taking into account the age of the asset” seems resempbling definition of “Net replacement cost”.
    Could you explain how Current value and Replacement value differ ?

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    Your realisable value and current cost are virtually identical, whereby the net replacement cost is used primarily for PPE and current cost for other assets such as inventory.

    Don’t worry too much about these as there is unlikely to be a large portion of the exam dedicated to it.

    Thanks
