Solution
Money Measurement Concept
Explanation:
The Money Measurement Concept states that only transactions and occurrences that may be stated or quantified in monetary terms should be documented in the books of accounts. Even while the retirement of a highly talented manager is a big event that can have a profound impact on a company’s operations, it is a qualitative change whose financial impact cannot be objectively and accurately measured; hence, it must be completely removed from accounting records.
