      ab: Current cost accounting (CCA) recommendations have led to complex measurement problems. This paper aims to provoke discussion of the use of numerical analysis and the STAPOL technique as a method for measuring current cost depreciation expense. The measurement method analysed has a scientific foundation, is simple to apply, and yields accurate results. With slight modification, the method analysed is also applicable to other areas of CCA characterized by intractable measurement problems. Unlike other papers which have used differential calculus to analyse the use of numerical analysis in accounting, the exposition in this paper depends on only a rudimentary knowledge of algebra.
