* Less than 0.5 percent.

D Suppressed to avoid disclosure of data of individual companies.

1. Equals sales plus inventory change; also equals gross product plus purchases.

2. Equals total output less gross product.

3. As reported on affiliates' forms.

4. Includes purchases of goods and services from foreign residents and purchases of services from U.S. residents.

5. Equals gross product plus "other" purchases. The foreign content of output is overstated to the extent that "other" purchases include services exported from the United States and that goods and services exported from the United States are embodied in purchases from foreign suppliers. (These items were not reported separately and thus could not be identified and included in U.S. content.)
