l- Reported prafits Total profits are the reported value for all state The remainder (0.750 billion rubles) is divided arbitrarily as
enterprises (85.668 billion rubles—Narkhoz, p. 541) less net insur-
ance premiums (1.047 billion rubles—CIA, fiNP I970, p. 46). The
values for each sector are from Narkhoz I977, pp. 541 and 543 To
Sciencewith the following exceptions:
e Profits in the nonferrous metals sector are estimated in CIA,
GNP I 970, p. 70.
~ Profits in the electric power sector include the profits of the urban
electric power system (0.137 billion rubles). These profits are
assumed to be included with the reported profits of the communal
economy (0.984 billion rubles—Narkh0z 1 97 7, p. 541) which are
allocated based on some data for the RSFSR as follows:
follows:
ml 0.750
0.100
Credit and insurance 0.550
Other branches of material 0.100
production
Total 0.984
Electric power 0.137
Other utilities 0.770
Repair and personal care 0.002
Recreation 0.040
Urban transportation 0.035
~ Profits of the machinery; wood, pulp, and paper; light industry; and
other industry sectors are reduced by arbitrary estimates of profits
in repair and personal care services. Total repair and personal care
profits are arbitrarily estimated at 0.400 billion rubles based on
scattered republic data, of which 0.002 a-re included in the profits
of the communal economy (above). The remaining amount is
distributed as follows:
Total 0.398
Machinery 0.037
Wood, pulp, and paper 0.008
Light industry 0.277
Other industry 0.076
~ Profits in the other industry sector are computed as a residual.
- Communications profits are from CIA, GNP I 970, p. 67.
e Transportation profits are computed as total profits in transporta-
tion and communications (1 1.523 billion rubles—Narkhoz I977,
p. 541), less profits in communications (above), plus profits in urban
transportation (above).
e Trade profits are the sum of profits in trade, supply and sales, and
agricultural procurement.
- Utilities profits are estimated as a share of the profits of the
communal economy (above).
- Profits in the science, credit and insurance, and other branches of
material production sectors are assumed to be components of the
other branches category in the Narkhoz profit data. The reported
profits of this category (1.797 billion rubles—Narkhoz I 977, p.
541) are reduced by net insurance premiums (1.047 billion rubles).

2. Bonuses. Total bonuses are from CIA, GNP I970, p. 45. The to-
tal is distributed among the sectors based on the assumption that
the ratio of bonuses to reported profits is the same in each sector.
3. "Net"pra/its. This is column 1 less column 2.
4. Adjustmentfor industrial profits. It is believed that the profit
data in the Narkhoz are reported on a ministry basis. The data in
this column represent the ratio of profits on a commodity basis to
profits on a ministry basis in the branches of industry as estimated
in V. D. Belkin (ed.), Model '
"dokhod-tovary"i balans narodnogo
khozyaystva, Moscow, Nauka, 1978, p. 119.
5. Adjusted "net" pro/its. This is column 4 times column 3 for the
branches of industry, column 3 for all other entries.
6. Other net income. The value for agriculture represents the sum
of retained income and income taxes of collective farms (table D-3,
items l,a and 3,a). The values for trade and recreation represent
the sum of retained profits and income taxes of consumer
cooperatives and other organizations, respectively.
7. Total pra/its. This is column 5 plus column 6.
