Subject content: Provides
1992 data for 1987 for the United States on sales,
inventories, capital expenditures, depreciable assets, operating expenses, and measures of value
produced for firms with employees in merchant wholesale trade, with separate statistics for major
kinds of business.
Tables on value produced include sales; cost of goods sold; gross margin (i.e. sales less cost of goods sold); value added (i.e. gross margin less some operating expenses--such as purchases of fuels and office supplies) along with net income produced at market prices and factor cost, with separate data for corporations.
Operating expenses cover payroll, employer cost for fringe benefits, and various other costs, ranging from advertising to equipment repairs.
Figures on gross value of depreciable assets, depreciation charges, and lease and rental payments--as well as capital expenditures--apply to buildings/structures and, separately, to machinery/equipment. Data on corporations include assets at the end of 1991 and 1992.
