Assignment 
In recent times, there has been a case of accounting for changing price, from the traditional historical cost accounting to more "appropriate" methods. The problem with historical cost accounting according to Elliot is that "an implicit and troublesome assumption in the historical cost model is that the monetary unit is fixed and constant over time". As students would probably know, historical cost accounting assumes that money holds a constant purchasing power.
