Identify and briefly discuss the three approaches for determining fair value identified by the FASB


The FASB identifies three approaches to measuring fair value: (1 ) the market approach, (2 ) the income (or cash flow) approach, and (3 ) the cost approach. The market approach is useful when there is an active market in which quoted prices are available for the specific asset or liability. The income (or cash flow) approach converts expected future cash flows derived from an asset to a single present value. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace an asset with a comparable one.
