This way of measurement is used when account time value of money is needed to be taken into consideration. Assets are carried at the present discounted value of future net cash inflows that the item is expected to generate in the normal course of business. Liabilities are carried at the present discounted value of the future net cash outflows that are expected tobe required to settle the liabilities in the normal course of business.
