1993 SNA Update Information - AEG recommendations for issue: Obsolescencia y consumo de capital fijo |
Issue description | Issue description in [English] | [French] | [Russian] | [Spanish] | El consumo de capital fijo se define en el SCN 1993 en términos generales como la disminución, durante el curso del periodo contable, del valor actual del stock de activos fijos propios y utilizados por un productor como resultado del deterioro físico, la obsolescencia normal o el daño accidental normal. Aunque esa disminución se expresa utilizando los precios medios del período, en el SCN 1993 no hay pautas para aclarar si los precios utilizados deben guardar relación con el nivel general de los precios o si deben ser específicos a los activos. |
