Answer
Going Concern Concept
Reason — Under the Going Concern Concept, fixed assets are recorded at their original cost less depreciation, since the business is assumed to continue for an indefinite period and the assets are not meant to be sold in the near future. Hence the market value of fixed assets is not recorded.
