accrued benefit cost method

The projected unit credit method (sometimes known as the accrued benefit method pro-rated on service or as the benefit/years of service method) sees each period of service as giving rise to an additional unit of benefit entitlement (see paragraphs 70–74) and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation (see paragraphs 75–98).

The Act referred to at point 26j of Annex XI to the EEA Agreement (Commission Recommendation 2005/698/EC of 19 September 2005 on accounting separation and cost-accounting systems under the regulatory framework for electronic communications (9)), as adapted to the EEA Agreement by Protocol 1 thereto (10) has provided a framework for the consistent application of the specific provisions concerning cost-accounting and accounting separation, with a view to improving the transparency of regulatory accounting systems, methodologies, auditing and reporting processes to the benefit of all parties involved.

An incremental cost approach which allocates only efficiently incurred costs that would not be sustained if the service included in the increment was no longer produced (i.e. avoidable costs) promotes efficient production and consumption and minimises potential competitive distortions.
