Valuation Type:

Market prices (value at)
“Market prices” refer to amounts of money that buyers are willing to pay to acquire goods, services or assets from willing sellers. The exchanges are made between independent parties and on the basis of commercial considerations only, sometimes called “at arm’s length”. It includes all taxes, retail, wholesale, transportation and other margins less any subsidies on production or products.

Seasonal Adjustment:

Seasonally adjusted
A time series is said to be “seasonally adjusted” when it has been altered to remove predictable seasonal regularities due to normal variations in climate through the year, the schedule of religious, civic and other holidays, established social patterns such as the timing of the school year and other factors of this nature. Seasonally adjusted time series are usually adjusted for calendar effects also, as for example when one month has more working days (Mondays to Fridays) than another. Seasonally adjusted time series are smoother than time series that are not seasonally adjusted. At Statistics Canada most seasonal adjustment is accomplished using X-12-ARIMA method that was developed by the U.S. Census Bureau.
