A study examining the scope in which Economic Value Added (EVA) is misrepresented by inflation reveals that it cannot be utilized under inflation to approximate actual profitability.

AEVA likewise presents an option to inflation accounting and could be utilized under inflation to approximate actual profitability from traditional historical cost accounts.
