INDICE DE PRECIOS

INFLACION
La inflacin es el movimiento ascendente del
nivel medio de precios.

INDICE DE PRECIOS
Es la cuantificacin indirecta de la inflacin y
refleja las variaciones de esta al paso de los anos.
Por tal motivo los ndices de precios se utilizan
para actualizar precios de activos, lo cual se
realiza tomando como base un valor de un ao
determinado al cual se le asigna, arbitrariamente,
el valor de 100 como cantidad de referencia.

all fourth quarter 2001 indexes are preliminary

effective second quarter 2001, the Bureau of Labor Statistic abolished the Producer Price
indexes (PPIs) for fabric filters and mechanical collectors. As the VAPCCIs for these two
control devices were, essentially, their PPIs, the VAPCCIs can no longer be reported
Note: For a detailed explanation of the development and use of the VAPCCIs , see Chem. Eng,
