Answer:

The answer is: Net realizable value

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Brooks Co. is being liquidated historical costs are no longer relevant. The going concern principle (a business will remain in operation for the foreseeable future) is no longer applicable.

The only relevant amounts for Brooks Co. are the net realizable amounts they can get from the sale of their assets.
