What does the expense inflation rate default to in ARGUS Enterprise?

In ARGUS Enterprise, the expense inflation rate is a crucial parameter that applies to all types of expenses. By default, it enables users to account for the expected increase in costs over time, which can significantly impact financial modeling and projections. This means that whether the expenses are operational, capital-related, or even classified as non-operating, they will all be subjected to the same default inflation rate unless the user specifies otherwise.

This inclusive approach allows for a more comprehensive and realistic view of future cash flows and financial performance, reflecting the general economic environment and anticipated cost growth. Consequently, by defaulting to encompass all types of expenses, ARGUS Enterprise provides users with a robust framework for planning and analysis, ensuring that inflation considerations are uniformly applied across the board.
