    The answer is: Cost principle

    Explanation:

    The cost principle states that a business should record its assets, liabilities, and equity investments at their original purchase costs.

    In this case, Lisa paid $35,000 for the office building, so the recorded price of the asset should be $35,000 and not $50,000.
