assumption is that in the long run‚ the dollar is stable—it does not lose its purchasing power. This assumption allows the accountant to add the cost of a parcel of land purchased in 2006 to the cost of land purchased in 1956. For example‚ if a two-acre parcel cost the company $20‚000 in 1956 and in 2006 a two-acre parcel adjacent to the original parcel is purchased for a cost of $800‚000‚ the accountant will add the $800‚000 to the land account and will report the land account’s balance of $820‚000 on
