Expenses, a component of earnings, are measured in terms of the historical cost of resources (assets) consumed or used in producing revenue because, under the continuity assumption, there is no assumption that the assets used in operations will be sold. Using historical cost allows an evaluation of how management created value with the assets entrusted to them, measured at the actual cost of those resources. Thus, income reflects the excess of revenues over the historical cost, rather than market value, of the resources used.An alternative approach to earnings measurement, not supported by the continuity assumption, would employ market values of revenues and costs (expenses) to determine an "opportunity" cost measure of earnings.The continuity assumption also supports the inclusion of certain costs in assets used in operations, as opposed to immediate expensing of those costs, even though there is no expectation that such costs will be recouped on sale of the asset. The value of such operational assets is derived through use, rather than from sale, under the continuity assumption. Specific examples include installation costs of equipment, and many prepaid assets such as prepaid rent. In the latter example, if the firm were not a going concern, prepaid rent would not represent an asset beyond the liquidation date.

137. Stratford decided in October of the current fiscal year to start a massive advertising campaign to enhance the marketability of its product. In November, the company paid $750,000 for advertising time on a major radio chain to advertise its product during the next 12 months. The chief accountant expensed the $750,000 in the current fiscal year on the basis that "once the money was spent, it could never be recovered from the radio chain".State whether or not you agree with the accounting treatment given to this disbursement and support your opinion with principles discussed in the chapter on the Criteria for Accounting Choices.
This treatment violates the matching principle because the revenues to be gained for the advertising campaign will only be experienced in the accounting period in which the advertising will be aired. The $750,000 disbursement should be set up as a prepaid expense to be expensed in the proportion of the advertising incurred to the total advertising contract cost.

138. ABC Inc. is being sued by a client for an alleged breach of contract. The company's lawyers are uncertain as to what the outcome of the case will be. The client is suing ABC for $500,000 plus arrearages. Should ABC record a liability on its books due to the impending litigation? Why or why not?
No. Although some might argue that not recording a liability in this case would be a violation of the conservatism principle, no liability should be recorded, as the outcome of the litigation is uncertain. Kindly recall that to qualify as liabilities obligations must require a future transfer of assets, be an unavoidable current obligation and result from a past transaction. Although the lawsuit arose as a result of ABC's actions in a prior period, there is no transfer of assets or unavoidable current obligation, since the outcome of the litigation has not yet been determined.

139. Explain how revenues and gains are similar and how they differ.
Both revenues and gains increase net income and net assets. However, revenues arise more from a company's day-to-day operations and routine transactions (usually from the company's line of business) while gains arise from non day-to-day non routine transactions such as the sale of assets. In the latter case, a gain would arise if the company sold an asset for an amount greater than the book value of that asset.
