    I can not understand how the inflation rate was used for yr 2 to 4 on selling price and variable cost and also Tax allowable depreciation for year 4. Please help explain!

    Dear Ajoke,

    Suppose selling price is $ 10 and variable cost is $ 5 and the inflation rate is 5%

    Sales at Y1 $ 10 x 1.1^1 = $ 11
    Sales at Y2 $ 10 x 1.1^2 = $ 12.1
    Sales at Y3 $ 10 x 1.1^3 = $ 13.31
    Sales at Y4 $ 10 x 1.1^4 = $ 14.64

    the symbol (^) is the power sign on the calculator, all inflation are carried in the same way
