Firms could then face costs such as greater uncertainty in inflation does result. Both demand and inflation are major causes in the value and change of the Australian dollar.
Depreciation involves spreading the cost of an item over several years or over its useful lifetime. This is an accounting of the reduction in value of the merchandise and it will be reflected as an expense on the company’s income statement.
