• Both A and R are true and R explains A.

Answer 1

A is true but R is false.

Explanation:

• Assertion (A): The Going Concern Principle is a fundamental accounting assumption that a company will continue to operate indefinitely into the foreseeable future, with no intention or need to liquidate its operations.
• Reason (R): The reason contains contradictory information. It claims that the approach allows fixed assets to be recorded at market value, which is false. Because of the going concern assumption, assets and liabilities are recorded at their historical cost (less accumulated depreciation) rather than their current market or liquidation prices.
