Answer
The difference between measuring assets based on current cost and historical cost is in their focus and orientation. Current cost values assets based on today's market prices, considering the cost of acquiring either an identical or functionally similar asset. It's future-oriented. Historical cost, on the other hand, calculates the asset's value based on the original purchase cost minus accumulated depreciation. It's past-oriented, emphasizing the cost at the time of acquisition.
