general term "deflator" implies some definitions:

-Deflyator GDP (gross domestic product) is used for determination of the prevailing price in the domestic market, based on the calculation of the price index.

-Deflyator GNP (gross national product) is defined as the ratio of the index of the previous year to the current.

-Deflyator income (price) - an indicator of the level of prices for the current year to the previous one.

deflator index, according to the Government Decree of the Russian Federation, is set for a calendar year, based on the calculations of price increases this year.

P = CR - (BS x L), where

P - profit from the sale;

CR - selling price;

BS - book value;

D - deflator.

the sale of property income can not be, that is,its implementation may be equal to the book value or below.In this case, the conversion rate of inflation is not applicable.For the revaluation of the carrying value of fixed assets deflator index began to be applied from 1998.
