Historical Cost. Definition. Historical Cost is the original cost incurred in the past to acquire an asset. Historical Cost Convention requires assets to be recognized at their historical cost. Explanation. Assets need to be assigned some value in the accounting books.
Accounts Receivable is an asset account and is increased with a debit; Service Revenues is increased with a credit. Expenses and Losses are Usually Debited. Expenses normally have their account balances on the debit side (left side). A debit increases the balance in an expense account; a credit decreases the balance.
