4.61 The physical capital maintenance concept requires the adoption of the current
cost basis of measurement. The financial capital maintenance concept, however,
does not require the use of a particular basis of measurement. Selection of the
basis under this concept is dependent on the type of financial capital that the
entity is seeking to maintain.
4.62 The principal difference between the two concepts of capital maintenance is the
treatment of the effects of changes in the prices of assets and liabilities of the
entity. In general terms, an entity has maintained its capital if it has as much
capital at the end of the period as it had at the beginning of the period. Any
amount over and above that required to maintain the capital at the beginning of
the period is profit.
