    Which of the following accounting concepts can be used to justify carrying a non-current asset at its historical cost less depreciation even though this is not a particularly relevant figure for most decisions?

    A. accruals
    B. going concern
    C. prudence
    D. realisation

    Hi

    I'd go for B - it's the going concern concept that justifies this treatment as the assets concerned are then unlikely to be sold in the immediate future.

    Hope this helps
