• Conservatism Principle of Accounting
  The conservatism principle is the general concept of recognizing expenses and liabilities as soon as possible when there is tmcertainty about the outcome, but to only recognize revenues and assets when they are assured of being received.
  The conservatism principle is the foundation for the lower of cost or market rule, which states that you should record inventory at the lower of either its acquisition cost or its current market value.

• Entity principle of Accounting
  The business mdity concept states that the transactions associated with a business most be separately recorded from those of its ommers or other businesses or we can say that under this concept, the entity must record all transactions separately from its owner or owner’s other business. Without this concept the records of multiple entities would be intermingled, making it quite difficult to discern the financial or taxable results of a single business.

The lower of cost or market rule states that a business must record the cost of inventory at whichever cost is lower – the original cost or its current market price. … Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price, minus estimated costs of completion and disposal.
