Inflation accounting - Unitedworld School of Business
This document discusses different methods for accounting for inflation, including current purchasing power (CPP) accounting and current cost accounting (CCA). CPP accounting adjusts asset values and costs using price indexes to maintain the original purchasing power. The Finnish AHI method is a combination of CPP and CCA that uses the wholesale price index for yearly adjustments to variable costs and depreciation. It aims to maintain production capacity with simple calculations.
