This means that the value of stock is recorded at the lower of the cost of acquiring the stock or the current market value of the stock. This rule is designed to ensure that the value of stock is not overstated in the financial statements.<\/p>\n<p>Cost is the price paid for the stock, plus any additional costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition. Market value is the price that could be obtained for the stock in the open market.<\/p>\n<p>If the market value of stock falls below its cost, the stock must be written down to its market value. This is known as a &#8216;stock write-down&#8217;.
