Reporting Fixed Assets in Nineteenth-Century Company Accounts

This book focuses on the way in which businessmen responded to the new problem of accounting for fixed assets when measuring periodic profit. Of the twenty-seven items included, seven were written during the nineteenth century and the remainder during the twentieth.
