6. Q14. P.37 Is the economic entity or the parent concept more consist with the principles addressed in the FASB's conceptual framework? Explain your answer.
The parent concept is tied to the historical cost principle, which suggests that the best measure of valuation of a given asset is the price paid.
The economic entity assumption views a parent and its subsidiaries as one economic entity even though they are separate legal entities.

7. The parent concept has more consisted with the principles addressed in the FASB's conceptual framework because it might be argued to produce more “reliable” values.
But The economic entity is integral part of the FASB's conceptual framework.
Also, it seems to be consistent with the assumptions laid out by the FASB for GAAP.
