Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Balance sheet items are not adjusted for inflation. The figures on the balance sheet represent historical values at the time they were acquired or produced and do not reflect changes in the value of money due to inflation. However, the income statement items are adjusted for inflation through the use of inflation accounting methods such as the current purchasing power method.
