  • the BUSINESS SITUATION

    Corporate Profits

    JL ROFITS from current productionthat is, profits before tax with in-ventory valuation adjustment (IVA)and capital consumption adjustment(CCAdj)increased $3^2 billion in thethird quarter, following a $101/2 billionincrease in the second.1 The slowdownreflected a swing in domestic profits ofnonfinancial corporations from a smallincrease in the second quarter to adecline in the third; domestic prof-its of financial corporations and prof-its from the rest of the world both in-creased about as much as in the secondquarter.

    The decline in domestic profits ofnonfinancial corporations reflected adecline in unit profits; real product in-creased 2^2 percent (at an annual rate).The decline in unit profits, in turn, re-sulted from a smaller increase in unitprices than in unit costs (primarily la-bor costs).

    Profits before tax.Profits before tax(PBT) increased $8 billion in the thirdquartermore than twice as much asprofits from current production. Thedifference reflected declines in the IVAand the CCAdj, both of which are in-cluded in the current production mea-sure but not in PBT. The IVA declinerepresented an increase in inventoryprofits. The CCAdj decline reflectedthe lengthening of service lives man-dated by the Tax Reform Act of 1986,which has narrowed the difference be-tween the lives used for calculating de-preciation in tax accounting and thoseused by BEA.

    Profits by industry.Profits fromcurrent production is not available byindustry; PBT with IVA, which in-creased $6 billion in the third quarter,is the best available measure.

    Domestic profits of nonfinancial cor-porations declined $2 billion; the de-cline was more than accounted for bymanufacturing profits. Within manu-facturing, results were mixed, with thesame number of industries registeringincreases as declines. (Industry de-tail is given in table 6.18B in "SelectedNIPA Tables.")

    Domestic profits of financial corpo-rations increased $2^2 billion. Prof-its of commercial banks increased, andlosses incurred by savings and loan as-sociations declined for the second con-secutive quarter. In addition, Fed-eral Reserve bank incomewhich istreated as corporate profits in the na-tional income and product accounts(NIPA's)increased.

    Profits from the rest of the worldthe difference between inflows to U.S.corporations from their foreign affil-iates and outflows to foreign corpo-

    rations from their U.S. affiliatesincreased $5^2 billion. Inflows, fromboth petroleum and nonpetroleum af-filiates, more than accounted for theincrease.

    Third-quarter NIPA revisions

    Table 1 on page 17 shows the re-visions for the third quarter fromthe preliminary estimates released amonth ago. One set of these revi-sions, those to rest-of-the-world (ROW)incomes, are of interest because theyaffect the income and product sides ofthe national income and product ac-count differently. For the third quar-ter, ROW profits were revised up $5^2billion; net interest payments by for-eigners were revised down $41/2 bil-lion. These revisions had little effecton third-quarter GNP, but they had asizable effect on national income.

    On the product side, the sum ofprofits, net interest, and compensation

    1. Quarterly estimates in the national income andproduct accounts are expressed at seasonally adjustedannual rates, and quarterly changes in them are differ-ences between these rates.

    Looking Ahead. . .

    NIPA Methodology. Government Transactions, the fifth in BEA's series ofmethodology papers, will be available in mid-January from the GovernmentPrinting Office. See the inside back cover for order information.

    Business Cycle Indicators. The composite indexes of leading, coincident,and lagging indicators will be revised as of the release of January 1989 dataon March 3. The revision will incorporate changes in components, updatedstatistical factors, and historical revisions in component data. An articlepresenting the revision will appear early in 1989 in Business ConditionsDigest and in the SURVEY.

    Alternative Weighting of Real GNP. An article considering the presentationby BEA of alternative weighting systems for real GNP will appear in anupcoming issue of the SURVEY.

    in the rest-of-the-world sector is usedas the measure of ROW product, andROW product plus domestic productequals GNP (table 1). In the thirdquarter, the downward revision in netinterest paid by foreigners largely off-set the upward revision in ROW prof-its, leaving ROW product and GNP lit-tle changed.

    On the income side, the story is morecomplicated. The revision in ROWprofits was, of course, fully reflected inthird-quarter corporate profits. How-ever, the net interest component of na-tional income was not changed by therevision in net interest payments byforeigners, even though conceptuallythis component is equal to the sumof net interest payments by foreign-ers and by business. The reason forthe lack of change is that BEA ex-

    trapolates the net interest componentof national income indirectly becausedata on net interest payments by busi-

    ness are not available for quarterly ex-trapolation; the indirect extrapolationconsists of subtracting net governmentinterest payments to persons and in-terest paid by consumers to businessfrom personal interest income. (Thismethodology is described in more de-tail in the July 1984 SURVEY OF CURRENTBUSINESS, pages 15-16.)

    New information on net interest pay-ments by foreigners, therefore, doesnot provide any new information aboutthe size of the extrapolated quarterlynet interest component of national in-come. BEA implicitly assumes that re-visions in net interest payments by for-eigners are offset by revisions in theopposite direction in net interest pay-ments by business. (In 1987, 90 per-cent of net interest paid by foreignerswas received by business.)

    ERRATA

    Table 3 of "Deflators for Purchases of Computers in GNP: Revised andExtended Estimates, 1983-88" on page 23 of the November 1988 issue ofthe SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS contains incorrect information. For personalconsumption expenditures, the column that shows the published categorythat includes computers and the column that shows the category deflated inthe estimates published in December 1985 should read "Radio and televisionreceivers, records, and musical instruments," not "Wheel goods, durable toys,sports equipment, boats, and pleasure aircraft."

    1. Inventories are as of the end of the quarter. The quarter-to-quarter change in inventoriescalculated from current-dollar inventories in this table is not the current- dollar change inbusiness inventories (CBI) component of GNP. The former is the difference between twoinventory stocks, each valued at their respective end-of-quarter prices. The latter is the changein the physical volume of inventories valued at average prices of the quarter. In addition,changes calculated from this table are at quarterly rates, whereas CBI is stated at annual rates.

    2. Quarterly totals at monthly rates. Business final sales equals final sales less gross productof households and institutions, government, and rest of the world, and includes a small amountof final sales by farms.
