A one year old cow will increase in value as it becomes a two year old cow The price for a two year old cow last year will not be the same as the price for a two year old cow this year So there are two causes for a change in value - a price change and the fact that the cow is now a two year old, not a one year old It's a bit similar to variance analysis where a variance could be caused by price change and volume change!
