the BUSINESS SITUATION
(45-day) estimates showthat real GNP increased at an annualrate of l/2 percent in the second quar-ter of 1986; preliminary (15-day) esti-mates had shown a 1-percent increase(table 1). The downward revision wasmore than accounted by inventory in-vestment and net exports; personalconsumption expenditures and Feder-al Government purchases of goodsand services were revised up. Revi-sions in other components of GNPwere small. The GNP price index(fixed weights) was essentially unre-vised at a 2-percent annual -rate of in-crease.1
Generally, the revisions reinforcethe changes in individual componentsreported in the preliminary estimates.Inventory investment and net ex-ports, which had declined accordingto the preliminary estimates, declinedmore in the revised estimates. Person-al consumption expenditures and Fed-eral Government purchases, whichhad increased, increased more. Over-all, the revisions do not alter the pic-ture of sharp, largely offsettingchanges in several components ofGNP that was presented in the July"Business Situation."
Corporate profitsProfits from current production
profits before tax with inventory valu-ation adjustment (IVA) and capitalconsumption adjustment (CCAdj)de-clined $5 billion in the second quar-ter, following an $11 billion increasein the first.
Domestic profits of nonfinancialcorporations declined $7 billion, fol-lowing an increase of $2 billion, re-flecting declines both in real grosscorporate product and in profits perunit of product. The decline in unitprofits resulted from a larger increase

Foreign Transactions, An introduction to the concepts, sources, andmethods of foreign transactions in the national income and product ac-counts will appear as an article in a fall issue of the SURVEY. A paperabout foreign transactions, including this introduction, will appear short-ly thereafter as part of the BEA methodology series.
Plant and Equipment Expenditures, Revised estimates of plant andequipment expenditures in current and constant (1982) dollars from thefirst quarter of 1983 to date will be included in the quarterly plant andequipment article in the September SURVEY. The revised estimates willincorporate revised implicit price deflators from the revised nationalincome and product accounts and new seasonal factors.
Local Area Personal Income. The nine-volume Local Area PersonalIncome, 1979-84 will be available soon. See page 22 for more information.
Multinational Companies. Financial, operating, employment, and for-eign trade data for 1984 for U.S. multinational companies and their for-eign affiliates and for U.S. affiliates of foreign multinational companieswill be presented in two SURVEY articles in the fall.

in unit labor cost than in unit price;unit nonlabor costs were unchanged.
Domestic profits of financial corpo-rations increased $3 billion, followingan increase of $5% billion, and profitsfrom the rest of the world declined $1billion, following an increase of $3%billion.
Profits before tax.Profits beforetax (PBT) increased $7% billion in thesecond quarter, following a decline of$11% billion in the first. The contrastbetween the increase in PBT and thedecline in profits from current pro-duction is due to the CCAdj, which de-clined $4 billion, and to the IVA,which declined $8% billion. Both ofthese adjustments are reflected in thecurrent production measure but notin PBT.
The CCAdj is the difference be-tween depreciation based (like PBT)largely on tax accounting, on the onehand, and economic depreciation as
defined by BEA, on the other. In thesecond quarter, as in the first, tax-based depreciation declined slightlywhile economic depreciation contin-ued to increase; as a result, the CCAdjdeclined. The decline in tax-based de-preciation reflected the provisions ofthe Economic Recovery Tax Act of1981, under which new assets are de-preciated in 1986 at a lower rate than5-year-old assets that drop out of thedepreciation base.
The IVA removes the capital-gains-like element from profits based on taxaccounting when inventory prices in-crease; likewise, it removes the cap-ital-loss-like element when inventoryprices decline. In the second quarter,the IVA was positiveindicatinglossesbut smaller than in the first,as overall inventory prices continuedto decline but by less than in thefirst. In manufacturing, inventoryprices dropped more than in the first

quarter, while in trade, inventoryprices generally increased after de-clining in the first quarter.
Profits with IVA but withoutCCAdj.The quarterly measure ofprofits available by industry declined$1 billion, following an increase of$14V2 billion. A $3 billion decline inthe profits of nonfinancial corpora-tions was more than accounted for bytrade; profits in manufacturing and intransportation and public utilities in-creased.
In both wholesale and retail trade,the increases in inventory prices men-tioned above contributed to drops inprofits. In retail trade, the drop wasintensified by declines in the prices ofgoods sold.
Manufacturing profits increasedafter two quarters of decline. The in-crease was concentrated in durablesmanufacturing, especially electric andnonelectric machinery. In nondura-bles, petroleum profits increased butthe increase represented only a par-tial rebound from a very low first-quarter level that reflected the pay-ment of a large fine to the U.S. De-partment of Energy by a major corpo-ration; in the absence of the fine,profits would have declined in bothquarters, reflecting the path of petro-leum prices. In transportation andpublic utilities, lower petroleumprices contributed to increased prof-its.
Government sectorThe fiscal position of the govern-
ment sector in the national incomeand product accounts deterioratedconsiderably in the second quarter of1986, as the combined deficit of theFederal Government and of State andlocal governments increased $45x/2 bil-lion (table 2). The deterioration wasthe result of an increase in the Feder-al deficit and a decrease in the Stateand local surplus.
The Federal sector.The FederalGovernment deficit increased $35 %billion in the second quarter to $237billion, as expenditures increasedmore than receipts.
Receipts increased $6 billion after adecline of the same amount in thefirst quarter, when only contributionsfor social insurance increased. In thesecond quarter, indirect business taxand nontax accruals continued to de-cline, and all other categories of re-ceipts increased. In recent quarters,

the movement of indirect businesstaxes has been influenced by a rathersteady decline, reflecting crude oilprices, in windfall profit taxes. Thewindfall profit tax was enacted inApril 1980 as a temporary excise taxon domestically produced crude oil.Receipts from this tax reached a peakof $26x/2 billion in the second quarterof 1981; these receipts were only $0.1billion in the second quarter of 1986.
Expenditures increased $41 billionafter a decline of $22 billion in thefirst quarter. Over two-thirds of thisswing was accounted for by the effectof farm programs operated by theCommodity Credit Corporation (CCC)on nondefense purchases of goods andservices and on subsidies less the cur-rent surplus of government enter-prises.
Nondefense purchases were essen-tially unchanged after a $23x/2 billiondecline in the first quarter. The pur-chases of agricultural commodities bythe CCC accounted for almost all ofthe first-quarter decline, and theywere unchanged at $5x/2 billion in thesecond. Subsidies less the current sur-plus increased $18V2 billion after a $3billion decline in the first quarter; theswing was due to the CCC. The CCCdeficit, which had declined $3 billionin the first quarter, declined only $*/2billion in the second. Agriculturalsubsidies increased $19 billion in thesecond quartermainly for advancedeficiency paymentsafter no changein the first.
The advance deficiency paymentsamounted to over $15 billion andwere paid in two forms-cash ($11 bil-lion) and payment-in-kind (PIK) cer-tificates ($4 billion). The cash pay-ments were made to producers of feedgrains ($6y2 billion), wheat ($2V2 bil-lion), upland cotton ($iy2 billion), andrice (over $V2 billion). The PIK certifi-cates are generic; that is, they can beredeemed at face value for any com-modity. The certificates can also besoldto other farmers or to, for ex-ample, grain storage operatorsorthey can be redeemed for cash fromthe CCC beginning October 1. If theyare redeemed for cash, the CCC willdiscount the value of the certificatesby 4.3 percent under the Gramm-Rudman deficit-reduction require-ments. In addition, $1 billion of ad-vance diversion payments were alsopaid in the form of certificates. (See"Federal Farm Programs for 1986-90"
in the April 1986 SURVEY fdr the defi-nitions of these payments.)
Although programs of the CCC ac-counted for the bulk of the swing inexpenditures, there were also swingsfrom decline to increase in nationaldefense purchases of goods and serv-ices and in transfer payments to for-eigners. National defense purchasesincreased $11% billion after a $1%billion decline in the first quarter.The increase was concentrated inmilitary hardwareespecially air-craft and missiles, which included thedelivery of two additional B-l bomb-ers and the first two MX missiles-and in research and development. Theonly major declineover $2 billion-was for purchases of petroleum prod-ucts, reflecting declining prices.Transfer payments to foreigners in-creased $2*/2 billion after a $5 billiondecline in the first quarter. The first-quarter decline was the result of afourth-quarter payment of the entireamount of the fiscal year 1986 eco-nomic assistance to Israel. Thesecond-quarter increase was in bothmilitary and economic assistance.
Among other expenditures, grants-in-aid to State and local governmentsincreased $3x/2 billion. The increasewas accounted for by payments to fiveStates for settlement of a dispute be-tween the Federal and State govern-ments over revenue from leases of theOuter Continental Shelf and fromroyalties paid on discovered oil. Thelargest payments$1V2 billion eachwere to Texas and California.
Cyclically adjusted surplus or defi-citWhen measured using cyclicaladjustments based on middle-expan-sion trend GNP, the Federal fiscal po-sition moved from a deficit of $214 bil-lion in the first quarter to a deficit of$244 billion in the second (see table 2on page xx). The cyclically adjusteddeficit as a percentage of middle-ex-pansion trend GNP increased from5.2 percent in the first quarter to 5.9percent in the second.
The State and local sector.TheState and local government surplusdeclined $10 billion in the secondquarter to $60 billion, as expendituresincreased more than receipts. A de-cline in the surplus of other thansocial insurance funds more than ac-counted for the total decline.
Receipts increased $3 billion, com-pared with $15x/2 billion in the firstquarter, when receipts were boosted
by the payment of a fine ($8 billion atan annual rate) by a major petroleumcorporation as a result of a SupremeCourt ruling on pricing violations. Ex-cluding the effects of this fine, re-ceipts increased $11 billion in thesecond quarter compared with $7 %billion in the first; the accelerationwas due to Federal grants-in-aid andcorporate profits tax accruals.
Expenditures increased $13 billion,compared with $8 billion in the firstquarter. The acceleration was largelyin purchases of goods and services;they increased $12 billion in thesecond quarter, compared with $6 bil-lion in the first. The stronger pace ofpurchases was largely in purchases ofstructures; highway construction in-creased $5% billion after declining $2billion in the first quarter. Amongother types of purchases, a $2 billiondecline in nondurable goods wasoffset by increases in durable goodsand services. The decline in nondura-ble goods was more than accountedfor by a drop in purchases of petrole-um products, reflecting decliningprices.
Inventory-Sales RatiosInventory-sales ratios are often ana-
lyzed to help predict inventory behav-ior. If a ratio is "low", it may suggestthe need to rebuild inventories; if it is"high," it may suggest the need to liq-uidate inventories. In recent years,rapid growth of imports and largetransactions of the Commodity CreditCorporation (CCC) have been suspect-ed of reducing the predictive value ofthe aggregate ratios calculated withinthe national income and product ac-count (NIPA) framework. The follow-ing discussion compares one of theseratiosthe constant-dollar ratio ofbusiness inventories to business finalsaleswith two variants of it to ex-amine whether the usefulness of theratio has been reduced.
The import-adjusted variantThe first variant, as indicated in
line 10 of table 3, is derived by addingimports of merchandise and nonfactorservices to business final sales, the de-nominator of the published ratio. (Im-ports of factor servicesthat is, oflabor and propertyare not added,consistent with the general exclusionof nonbusiness factor services fromthe denominator.) The rationale for

1. Inventories are as of the end of the quarter; quarter-to-quarter changes calculated from these estimates are at quarterly rates.2. Final sales are quarterly totals at monthly rates.NOTE.Lines 1, 4, and 9 are from NIPA table 5.11. Line 2 is the stock figure associated with line 5, which is derived from NIPA table 3.8B. Line 7 is derived from NIPA table 4.2
this modification follows from an im-plicit assumption-necessary becauseof data limitationsabout imports inthe denominator. Data are not avail-able to split imports between finalsales and inventories, and the implicitassumption is made that all importsare final sales to consumers, business-es, or governments in the quarter inwhich they take place. The assump-tion is apparent in that, in derivingGNPa measure of U.S.-producedgoods and servicesas the sum offinal sales and change in business in-ventories, all imports are deductedfrom final sales. In reality, however,some imports go into inventories andnot into final sales in the quarter ofimport. (The numerator, in fact, in-cludes inventories of imported goods.)To the extent that imports go into in-ventories in the quarter of import,final sales of GNP and business finalsales, which is derived from finalsales of GNP, are understated. On theother hand, when imports are addedback into the denominator, on the as-sumption that all imports go into in-ventories, business final sales areprobably overstated. The ratio andthe import-adjusted variant thereforeprovidewith respect to treatment ofimportsupper and lower estimates,respectively, of the "true" ratio.
The import-adjusted variant liesbelow the published ratio, reflectingthe larger denominator of the variant
(chart 1). From the first quarter of1972 to the second quarter of 1986,the variant and the ratio registeredgenerally similar quarter-to-quarterchanges. The differences in movementwere as much as 0.04 in only twoquarters. The ratio and the variantmoved in opposite directions in onlythree isolated quarters, and even inthese instances, the differences inmovement were small.
During the economic expansionfrom the third quarter of 1982, theratio and the variant registered quitesimilar changes except in the fourthquarter of 1982, when the ratio fellmore sharply than the variant, and inthe first quarter of 1985, when theratio fell and the variant increased.These two quarters are the only quar-ters in the expansion when imports ofmerchandise and nonfactor servicesdeclined. However, the ratio and thevariant slowly drifted further apart:From its peak in the third quarter of1982 to the second quarter of 1986,the ratio dropped from 3.54 to 3.213,while the variant declined slightlymorefrom 3.17 to 2.81. A strong in-crease in imports gave rise to thisslow drift; constant-dollar imports ofmerchandise and nonfactor servicesincreased at an annual rate of over 12percent.
Because the ratio and the variantrepresent the upper and lower esti-mates of the "true" ratio with respect
to the effect of imports, this slow driftmay suggest a slight increase in un-certainty about the level of the trueratio. Nevertheless, in the historicalcontext, both the ratio and the vari-ant yield similar insights into thelikely course of inventory investment.For example, for the period shown inchart 1, both the ratio and the vari-ant reached their lowest levels in thefourth quarter of 1985. Prior to that,both had been declining for severalquarters and were at levels thatappear low by historical standards.Thus, to the extent that such lowlevels presage increases in invento-ries, both would have provided thesame signal as of that quarter. Theslight increases in the ratio and thevariant since then, although smallerfor the variant, would not have clear-ly changed that signal.
The CCC-adjusted'variantThe second variant, as indicated in
line 11 of the table, is derived byadding the stock of inventories heldby the CCC to the stock of businessinventories in the numerator of theratio and subtracting CCC inventorychanges from business final sales inthe denominator. The purpose of thevariant is to abstract from the effecton the inventory-sales ratio of theNIPA treatment of CCC inventories,in which the CCC commodity loan

program has been the major source ofrecent quarter-to-quarter volatility.(CCC programs and their treatmentin the NIPA's were summarized inthe April 1986 SURVEY OF CURRENTBUSINESS, pp. 34-35.) In the NIPA's,new CCC loans to farmers are record-ed as Federal Government purchasesin business final sales, and farmers'redemptionswhich can be made atany time during the loan periodarerecorded as negative purchases. Ac-cordingly, when a crop is placedunder loan, farm inventories are re-duced below, and CCC inventories areincreased above, what they otherwisewould have been. Thus, in the quarterwhen a farmer places his crop underloan with CCC, economy-wide invento-ries are not changed but both the nu-merator and denominator of the in-ventory-sales ratio are affectedthenumerator decreases, the denomina-tor increases, and the ratio, conse-
quently, declines. (Total CCC invento-ries are used in calculating both thenumerator and denominator for thisvariant because the portion of CCC in-ventories not associated with the com-modity loan program is relativelysmall and can be safely ignored forthe purpose at hand.)
When the two are distinguishablein the chart, the CCC-adjusted variantlies above the published ratio. Fromthe first quarter of 1972 to the secondquarter of 1986, this variant and theratio registered generally similarquarter-to-quarter changes. The dif-ferences in movement were 0.04 ormore in only two quarters. The ratioand the variant moved in opposite di-rections in only two isolated quarters.Both of these instances-the secondquarter of 1984 and the fourth of1985were during the present expan-sion.
The difference in the movement ofthe ratio and the variant in thefourth quarter of 1985 was the largerof the two instances of movement inthe opposite direction and also thelargest without regard to sign. Theratio declined from 3.23 to 3.20, whilethe variant increased from 3.31 to3.34. The decline in the ratio occurredas inventories fell and final sales in-creased, and the increase in the vari-ant occurred as inventories increasedwhile final sales were flat. For CCC-adjusted inventories, the change re-flected an unusually large addition toCCC inventories$8.0 billion at aquarterly rate (or $32.3 billion at anannual rate, as shown in the adden-dum to table 3). For CCC-adjustedfinal sales, the change excluded an in-crease in CCC inventory changefrom $1.0 billion at a monthly rate inthe third quarter to $2.7 billion in thefourth (or, at an annual rate, from$11.5 billion to $32.3 billion).
In both instances in which the ratioand the variant moved in opposite di-rections (and only in those instances),two conditions were, satisfied. First,the change in CCC inventoriestheadjustment to the numeratorandthe change in the ratio were in oppo-site directions; second, the change inthe change in CCC inventoriestheadjustment to the denominatorwasmore than $15 billion (annual rate)and was in the direction opposite tothe change in the ratio. More general-ly, if the change in the change in CCCinventories is larger than about $10billion, then changes in the ratio andthe variant are likely to be dissimilarin direction or magnitude. Althoughthe signals sent by the ratio and vari-ant have not been substantially differ-ent in the past, the variant may pro-vide useful perspective when theseconditions occur.
