This book focuses on the way in which businessmen responded to the
new problem of accounting for fixed assets when measuring periodic
profit. The book is divided into four sections: the first embraces
items that examine asset valuation procedures in general use during
the nineteenth century. The second focuses on the particular
practices that became popular among public utility companies. The
third comprises studies on influences, particularly legal ones on
the treatment of fixed assets in company accounts. The final
section examines the likely economic effect of using particular
valuation procedures and is another area where available material
is scarce. Of the twenty-seven items included, seven were written
during the nineteenth century and the remainder during the
twentieth. Their emphasis is practical rather than theoretical:
they set out the various ways in which companies accounted for
fixed assets and provide some explanation for the choices made.
