The “Lower of Cost or Market Rule” is an accounting principle requiring inventory to be reported at the lower of its historical cost or current market value. This rule ensures that inventory is not overstated on financial statements, reflecting potential losses in value. It is a conservative approach to inventory valuation, safeguarding against inflated asset values. The rule is crucial for accurate financial reporting and compliance with accounting standards.
