    Answer: This is a violation of "B. Historical cost" principle.

    Explanation: This principle establishes that assets must be registered at the time of purchase at historical cost.

    The historical cost of an asset initially arises from its purchase value. To this value are added all the expenses that were necessary to place it in a position to operate or generate income.
