Cevap

The correct matches are: 1. Recording motor vehicles at acquisition cost matches the Historical Cost Concept; 2. Recording personal expenses as drawings matches the Business Entity Concept; 3. Recognizing sales revenue upon delivery matches the Realization Concept; 4. Valuing inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value matches the Prudence Convention.
Each accounting scenario corresponds directly to a specific concept: recording assets at purchase cost complies with Historical Cost; separating personal and business transactions via drawings enforces Business Entity; recognizing income when earned upon delivery follows Realization; and preventing overstatement of inventory assets obeys Prudence.
