Today vs Future Dollars?

New User trying to validate data entries to related PRC output and a little confused regarding "Today's $" vs "Future $" use and display.

A couple assumptions -

  1. For dollars data entries, unless noted otherwise in field help text, User input values are to be entered in Today's dollars. For example, all Expenses are in Today's dollars.
  2. The dollars display control button, for instance within "Tabular Projections" tables, when toggled, displays table values to match the control. In other words, if the control button shows "Today's $" then all displayed values are in Today's dollars.

Specific situation data, see attached "Discretionary" and "Miscellaneous" Expenses entered and related "Tablular Projections -> Expenses" table.

So, why are the table "Net Expenses for Personal Property" and "Specific Discretionary Expenses" columns displayed in what appears to match the "Today's $" control but not "Misc Expenses"? And opposite if switch to "Future $"?

Thanks,
Bob

Bob,

Your assumptions are correct but I'm not seeing any attachment so can't really answer your question.

Apologies - Apparently missed that image was not attached due to filesize...

@bo3b Your screenshot of the Miscellaneous page doesn't show all the fields, but I think you probably just need to check the COLA field. With that box unchecked inflation adjustments won't be made.

Thanks, checking "COLA" for all Miscellaneous entries allows the Expenses Table column entries to appear consistent. (Not sure why they seemed mismatched w/o COLA, perhaps PRC was depreciating some, but not all, values - Anyhow, seems consistent now...)

@bo3b Some are depreciated more than others; it depends on how far into the future they are.
