The net amount expected to be received in cash from receivables, also known as net realizable value, is the total accounts receivable minus any allowances for doubtful accounts and uncollectible debts.

Net realizable value (NRV) may be lower than cost when inventory becomes obsolete, such as outdated electronics that can no longer be sold at their original price. Another instance is when market demand decreases significantly; for example, if a farmer harvests crops but faces a surplus in the market, the selling price may drop below the production cost, leading to a lower NRV. In both cases, companies must write down the inventory to reflect its lower value in financial statements.
Conservatism If a situation arises where there are two acceptable alternatives for reporting an item, conservatism directs the accountant to choose the alternative that will result in less net income and/or less asset amount. Conservatism helps the accountant to "break a tie." It does not direct accountants to be conservative. Accountants are expected to be unbiased and objective.
