Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": True.

Explanation:

The cost principle or historical cost establishes that an asset must be recorded at its face value at the moment when the asset is acquired. That cost is recognized as the value of the asset unless there is reasonable proof to state the opposite. Under this principle, any organization can register in its books an asset that has not been part of a transaction yet.
