| Summary: | Contains analysis by Julius W. Allen (CRS), describing the principal methods of measuring corporate profits and assessing their appropriate uses and abuses. Paper, presented in three parts, considers: the definition and some of the ratios commonly used to measure profits; measurement problems arising in inflation periods; and particular additional problems connected with determination of profits in extractive industries, notably petroleum. Appendix (p. 19-33) provides specific numerical illustrations of terms used in report, based on Standard Oil Co. of California 1973 annual report financial statements, Mar. 5, 1974 (reproduced, p. 26-33). |
