Describe the relationship between the matching principle and accounting for long lived assets.
In measuring and reporting long-lived assets, the matching principle is applied. As a long-lived asset is used, revenues are earned over a period of time. Over that same period of time, the long-lived asset tends to be used up or worn out. As a consequence, under the matching principle, the acquisition cost of the asset must be allocated to the periods in which it is used to earn revenue. In this way the cost of the asset is matched, as expense, with the revenues as they are earned from period to period through the use of the asset.
