TREATMENT OF INFLATION IN ENGINEERING ECONOMIC ANALYSIS

A method for treating inflation in engineering economic analysis is developed using the revenue requirements approach. This method treats all phases of the analysis and can be easily implemented within the framework of conventional revenue requirements analysis. The problems of inconsistent treatment of inflation are discussed and several examples are given. Two pages of discussion of the paper are appended.
