Wholesale and Retail Trade and Manufacturing dominate economy; almost half in NCR
Preliminary results of the 2010 Annual Survey of Philippine Business and Industry for total employment (TE) of 20 and over showed that the total number of establishments for the Philippines declined by 1.7 percent from 24,034 in 2009 to 23,630 in 2010 (Table 1). Of the 18 sections as shown in Figure 1, one out of five establishments was engaged in Wholesale and Retail Trade (4,762) or in Manufacturing (4,643). These were followed by Accommodation and Food Service Activities (3,728) and Education (3,012). On the other hand, Mining and Quarrying with 75 establishments, numbered the least.
Almost half (46.5%) of the total number of establishments were located in NCR (10,989). CALABARZON with 3,193 or 13.5 percent ranked second. Central Luzon (1,852) and Central Visayas (1,805) garnered about the same share at 7.8 percent and 7.6 percent of the total number of establishments, respectively. ARMM (66) had the least number of establishments with TE of 20 and over.
Manufacturing generates highest employment, so does NCR
Number of persons employed nationwide totalled 2,953,477 in 2010, a decline of 1.0 percent from 2,982,756 in 2009. Three out of ten employees were engaged in Manufacturing (871,796). Administrative and Support Service Activities, despite placing fifth in terms of number of establishments, garnered second place with 411,118 employees or 13.9 percent. Wholesale and Retail Trade ranked third with 307,715 (10.4%) employees. Mining and Quarrying (26,520); Real Estate Activities (24,775); Water Supply, Sewerage, Waste Management and Remediation Activities (23,450); and Other Service Activities (12,204) each reported a share of less than one percent. (Figure 2)
In terms of number of employees, NCR having 1,348,111 or 45.6 percent, remained the top region in the country. CALABARZON still ranked second with 514,123 employees or 17.4 percent followed by Central Visayas with 256,476 employees or 8.7 percent. ARMM with 8,321 employees or 0.3 percent share to total employment contributed the least.

Among regions, NCR (PHP4.29 trillion) had the lion’s share or 49.1 percent of the total revenue. CALABARZON with PHP1.97 trillion contributed one-fifth (22.6%), Central Luzon (PHP775.47 billion or 8.9%) and Central Visayas (PHP401.39 billion or 4.6%). ARMM with PHP3.98 billion had the least share of the total revenue.
Manufacturing and NCR also highest spender
Total cost incurred in 2010 amounted to PHP6.65 trillion, 15.0 percent higher than the PHP5.78 trillion spent in 2009. Manufacturing, the highest spender, incurred PHP2.90 trillion, more than two-fifths (43.6%) of the total cost.

CALABARZON (PHP1.59 trillion) contributed 24.0 percent to total cost; Central Luzon (PHP666.04 billion), 10.0 percent; and Central Visayas (PHP311.83 billion), 4.7 percent. ARMM with PHP3.01 billion expended the least cost.
Value added reaches PHP2.69 trillion, more than half by NCR
In 2010, value added, an indicator which measures the value of output minus the intermediate inputs, reached PHP2.69 trillion, expanding by 2.0 percent from PHP2.63 trillion generated in 2009. Top three sections in terms of value added were Manufacturing with PHP889.57 billion or 33.1 percent, Financial and Insurance activities with PHP416.96 billion or 15.5 percent and Electricity, Gas, Steam and Air Conditioning Supply with PHP314.89 billion or 11.7 percent. On the other hand, Other Service Activities with PHP3.10 billion had the lowest value added among sections. (Figure 5)
Region-wide, NCR was the major contributor to total value added in 2010 amounting to PHP1.56 trillion or 58.2 percent, more than thrice that of CALABARZON (16.6%) which ranked second with PHP446.44 billion. ARMM still lagged behind with PHP1.30 billion or less than one percent share.
Average number of employees highest for Mining and Quarrying
Average number of employees stood at 125 in 2010, increasing negligibly by 0.7 percent from 124 employees in 2009. Considering the number of Mining and Quarrying establishments in the country, it remained the highest in terms of average number of workers in 2009 and 2010 at 354 employees. Administrative and Support Service Activities came in second with 309 employees, followed by Financial and Insurance Activities with 251 employees. Other Service Activities recorded the least number of employees at 43 among sections in 2010.
At the regional level, SOCCKSSARGEN remained highest in terms of average number of workers in 2009 and 2010. However, highest decrease in the average number of employees was also noted for this region, contracting by 10.3 percent from 181 in 2009 to 162 in 2010. Ten of the 17 regions recorded increases in the average number of employees between 2009 and 2010, namely: Caraga (18.2%), Central Luzon (12.3), Northern Mindanao (11.9%),), Cordillera Administrative Region (10.5%), CALABARZON (7.4%), Ilocos Region (7.2%), Bicol Region (5.2%), Cagayan Valley (4.3%), Central Visayas (3.6%), and Western Visayas (1.3 %). The rest of the regions suffered declines ranging from -1.1 percent to -10.3 percent.
Electricity, Gas, Steam and Air Conditioning Supply and Information and Communication employees earn highest average monthly compensation
Average monthly compensation reached PHP19,970 economy-wide in 2010, a 1.8 percent increment compared to 2009 level of PHP19,608. Electricity, Gas, Steam and Air Conditioning Supply and Information and Communication employees were paid the highest at PHP45,949 and PHP45,611, respectively. Employees engaged in Financial and Insurance Activities reported a monthly compensation of PHP42,175 while those of Professional, Scientific and Technical Activities, PHP34,207. On the other hand, Accommodation and Food Service Activities workers were the least paid amounting to PHP10,491 per month. (Figure 6)
NCR employees received the highest average monthly compensation at PHP25,862. CAR placed second with PHP20,216 and CALABARZON, third with PHP18,113. ARMM received the least average monthly compensation amounting to PHP7,728 per month. Among regions, SOCCKSSARGEN recorded the highest year-on-year increase at 20.1 percent to PHP16,932 in 2010 from PHP14,097 in 2009. Six of the 18 regions, however, registered decreases in average monthly compensation with MIMAROPA posting the largest decrease at 8.7 percent.
Electricity, Gas, Steam and Air Conditioning Supply workers most productive in 2010
Labor productivity may be measured in several ways. Revenue per worker is one method. This indicator is computed by dividing the total revenue or total sales by the total employment. At the national level, revenue per worker was recorded at PHP2.96 million in 2010, an improvement of 10.8 percent from PHP2.67 million in 2009. (Table 5a)
The top three sections with highest productivity in 2010 were Electricity, Gas, Steam and Air Conditioning Supply; Real Estate Activities; and Wholesale and Retail Trade. Productivity of Electricity, Gas, Steam and Air Conditioning Supply (PHP18.26 million) was more than six times the national level. Real Estate Activities; and Wholesale and Retail Trade followed next with productivity level of PHP11.11 million and PHP5.30 million, respectively. Six of the 18 sections posted less than a million in revenue per worker. Administrative and Support Service Activities generating only PHP399,486 revenue per worker was the least labor productive. (Figure 7)
By region, 2010 data showed that Eastern Visayas had the highest labor productivity at PHP5.89 million or a 10.5 percent increase from the corresponding 2009 level of PHP5.33 million. CAR maintained its rank in second place with PHP5.60 million. Third in rank was CALABARZON with PHP3.84 million. ARMM still emerged as the least labor productive region in 2010 with recorded revenue per worker of PHP478,560. (Table 5b)
Another measure of labor productivity is Value Added per Total Employment or Value Added per Worker. Adopting this measure, labor productivity at the national level in 2010 was valued at PHP909,615 or 3.0 percent higher than the PHP883,232 recorded in 2009. Using this indicator, Electricity, Gas, Steam and Air Conditioning Supply remained as the most productive industry in 2010 with PHP6.72 million worth of value added per worker or seven times more than the value registered at the national level. Similarly, Real Estate Activities remained second with PHP3.86 million. Financial Intermediation came in third with PHP2.57 million. Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing with the least amount of value added per worker at PHP200,870 was also the least labor productive industry in 2010.
Region-wide, MIMAROPA was the most productive region in terms of value added per worker at PHP2.19 million, higher by 37.5 percent than the PHP1.59 million mark in 2009. CAR placed second in 2010 with PHP1.19 million but exhibited a decrease of 64.5 percent from PHP3.36 million in 2009. MIMAROPA and CAR switched ranks in 2009 and 2010. Eastern Visayas remained in third post both in 2009 and 2010 with PHP1.55 million in 2009 and PHP1.19 million in 2010 or a decline of 23.2 percent. ARMM was the least productive region with a recorded value added per worker of PHP156,712. Six out of 17 regions registered decreases, namely: CAR (-64.5%), Central Luzon (-30.0%), Eastern Visayas (-23.2%), ARMM (14.0%), CALABARZON (-12.4 %) and Ilocos Region (-4.4 %).
Average revenue and average profit level highest for Electricity, Gas, Steam and Air Conditioning Supply; Information and Communication tops profit margin
Average Revenue per Establishment (ARPE) for the Philippines in 2010 increased by 11.6 percent to PhP369.54 million from PHP331.02 million in 2009. Three out of the 18 sections reached a billion mark revenue per establishment in 2010. These included Electricity, Gas, Steam and Air Conditioning Supply (PHP4.23B), Mining and Quarrying (PHP1.39B), and Financial and Insurance activities (PHP1.23B). Other Service Activities had the least average revenue per establishment with PHP27.80 million in 2010. (Table 6a)
CAR maintained its rank as the region with the highest ARPE in 2009 (PHP658.81M) and 2010 (PHP771.02M). Similarly, CALABARZON and Eastern Visayas maintained their slots for the second and third place in 2009 and 2010. Least ARPE for both years was recorded in ARMM with PHP76.76 million in 2009 and PHP60.34 million in 2010. (Table 6b)
Average Profit per Establishment (APPE) at the national level in 2010 stood at PHP58.31 million, declining by 5.1 percent from PHP61.41 million in 2009. By section, Electricity, Gas, Steam and Air Conditioning supply generated the highest APPE in 2010 with PHP1.25 billion. Mining and Quarrying; and Financial and Insurance Activities followed with PHP511.99 million and PHP346.66 million, respectively. Lowest for this indicator was Other Service Activities with PHP2.12 million.
Top three regions in terms of APPE in 2010 were: MIMAROPA (PHP98.87M); CALABARZON, (PHP83.82M) and NCR (PHP73.82M). In 2009, top three regions were CAR (PHP332.92M); Eastern Visayas (PHP116.63M) and CALABARZON (PHP97.54M). ARMM had the least APPE for both 2009 (PHP418T) and 2010 (PHP3.14M).
Economy-wide, profit margin in 2010, computed by dividing APPE by ARPE multiplied by 100, was recorded at 15.8 percent, posting a decline of 15.0 percent from the 18.6 percent in 2009. Information and Communication with profit margin of 37.1 percent was highest among sectors. Ranked second was Mining and Quarrying with 36.9 percent, closely followed by Arts, Entertainment and Recreation with profit margin of 35.9 percent. Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing had the least profit margin in 2010 at 3.5 percent.
TECHNICAL NOTES
INTRODUCTION
The 2010 Annual Survey of Philippine Business and Industry (ASPBI) is the 41st in the series of annual surveys that is being undertaken by the National Statistics Office since the 1956 Annual Survey of Manufactures.
The ASPBI is one of the comprehensive sources of information on businesses and industries, both large and small, in the country. The data collected from the ASPBI will constitute bases upon which the government and the private sector can formulate policies and evolve economic development plans. Specifically, the survey results are used in:
- constructing national and regional income accounts of the Philippine economy
- formulating development strategies and monitoring plans/policies in the attainment of national and regional goals
- determining and comparing regional economic structures and performance
- valuating conditions of the economy, employment and income perspective in order to make more informed decisions
- evaluating business options, assessing opportunities for new investments and estimating market shares of industries
- providing updates for the frame of establishments
LEGAL AUTHORITY
The legal authority for the conduct of the economic census and surveys is provided by various legislative acts and directives.
Commonwealth Act No 591 of 1940 is the law that created the Bureau of Census and Statistics (now the National Statistics Office). This organic law empowers the Bureau, among other things, to prepare for and undertake all census of population, agriculture, industry and commerce.
Confidentiality of Information. Section 4 of CA 591 states that: “Data furnished to the Bureau of Census and Statistics . . . shall not be used as evidence in court . . .; nor shall such data or information be divulged to any person except to authorized employees of the Bureau of Census and Statistics…”…This is to assure local businesses and industries operating in the country that as required by law, all data reported to NSO will be kept strictly confidential. All of the survey data products that will be published will include only summary information, and these will not identify any individual business.
E.O. 352 (Designation of Statistical Activities that will generate critical data for decision-making by the Government and the Private Sector, dated July 1, 1996) approves the ASPBI, and other major censuses and surveys of the agency, as designated statistical activities of the Government whose data are considered critical in the formulation of economic development plans and policy decision making.
Other legislative acts and presidential directives, as follows, were enacted to strengthen the mandate of NSO.
PD 418 (Reconstituting the Bureau of the Census and Statistics, to be known as National Census and Statistics Office, under the administrative supervision of the National Economic and Development Authority, dated March 20, 1974),
EO 121 (Reorganization Act of the Philippine Statistical System, dated August 4, 1987), and
EO No 5 (Strengthening the National Statistics Office, dated July 29,1998)SCOPE AND COVERAGE
The 2010 ASPBI is a nationwide undertaking covering establishments in the formal sector engaged in economic activities as defined in the 2009 Philippine Standard Industrial Classification (PSIC), namely:
- Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing (A)
- Mining and Quarrying (B)
- Manufacturing (C)
- Electricity, Gas, Steam and Air Conditioning Supply (D)
- Water Supply, Sewerage, Waste Management and Remediation Activities (E)
- Construction (F)
- Wholesale and Retail Trade; Repair of Motor Vehicles and Motorcycles (G)
- Transportation and Storage (H)
- Accommodation and Food Service (I)
- Information and Communication (J)
- Financial and Insurance Activities (K)
- Real Estate Activities (L)
- Professional, Scientific and Technical Services (M)
- Health and Social Work (N)
- Education (P)
- Human Health and Social Work Activities (Q)
- Arts, Entertainment and Recreation (R)
- Other Service Activities (S)
The PSIC is the statistical classification of economic activities prevailing in the country to secure uniformity and comparability of statistics presented by various government or private agencies. It serves as the framework in the collection, compilation and analysis of data on economic activities in the country.
Activities which are out of scope in the 2010 ASPBI are:
- sari-sari stores with no regularly paid employee
- selling in open stalls in public markets
- operators of tricycles, jeepneys, calesas, and pedicab;
- government postal and telegraphic offices
- letting and operating of real estate
- public education; public medical, dental and health services; and
- activities of membership organizations.
For the survey, only establishments in the formal sector are included. Establishments classified in the informal sector are excluded. Informal sector in the Philippines is defined in NSCB Resolution No.15 series of 2002. In the ASPBI, establishments which are under single proprietorship, single establishments and employment of less than 10 workers comprise the informal sector.
UNIT OF ENUMERATION
The statistical unit in the ASPBI or any other economic survey or census of the NSO is the establishment. The establishment is defined as a unit which engages, under a single ownership or control, in one, or predominantly one kind of activity at a single fixed location.
In actual practice, however, there are difficulties in applying the ideal definition so the establishment is defined in operational terms to take into account the organization and record-keeping practices of certain sectors by making the single location and activity criteria more flexible. This necessitates the use of the kind-of-activity unit for certain sectors as the single location restriction is eliminated.
For the Construction; Transport, Storage and Communications; Insurance; Real Estate Buying, Developing, Subdividing and Selling; and Investigation Agencies, the establishment is defined as:
“the unit that is engaged in the production of the most homogeneous group of goods and services, usually at one location, but sometimes over a wider area, for which separate records are available that can provide data concerning the production of these goods and services and the materials, labor and physical resources used in this production”.
TAXONOMY OF ESTABLISHMENTS
An establishment may be classified according to its: Economic Organization (EO), Legal Organization (LO), Industry, Employment Size and Geographic Location.
The Economic Organization refers to the part or role of the establishment in the organization. An establishment may be Single establishment (EO =1), Branch (EO =2), Establishment and main office with branches elsewhere (EO =3), Main office only (EO =4), and Ancillary unit other than main office (EO =5).
The Legal Organization (LO) refers to the legal form of the economic entity which owns the establishment. An establishment maybe a Single Proprietorship (LO = 1), Partnership (LO = 2), Government Corporation (LO = 3), Private Corporation (LO = 4), Cooperative (LO = 5), and Others (LO = 6).
According to industrial classification, the main activity of an establishment is determined by the activity from which it derives its major income or revenue. The 2009 PSIC, based on the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC) Rev4.0 was used in the 2010 ASPBI.
The size of an establishment is determined by its total employment. Listed below are the employment size classification and the corresponding codes used in the 2009 ASPBI.
Employment Code Total Employment Employment Code Total Employment 0 1 - 4 5 100 - 199 1 5 - 9 6 200 - 499 2 10 - 19 7 500 - 999 3 20 - 49 8 1000 - 1999 4 50 - 99 9 2000 & over Establishments are also classified by geographic area using the Philippine Standard Geographic Classification (PSGC). The PSGC is a systematic classification and coding of geographic areas of the Philippines. It contains updates on the official composition of regions, provinces, cities, municipalities and barangays in the Philippines. The 2010 ASPBI adopted the PSGC as of September 2008.
THE 2010 ASPBI QUESTIONNAIRES
The 2010 ASPBI utilized five types of questionnaires. These questionnaires were designed after taking into consideration the requirements of the main users. The questionnaires are listed below:
Form Type Sector Spot Color ASPBI Form 1 Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing green ASPBI Form 2 Mining and Quarrying; Manufacturing; Electricity, Gas, Steam and Air Conditioning Supply; and Water Supply, Sewerage, Waste Management and Remediation Activities yellow ASPBI Form 3 Construction orange ASPBI Form 4 Wholesale and Retail Trade; Repair of Motor Vehicles and Motorcycles red ASPBI Form 5 Business and Services (for Sector H, I, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, and S) blue Establishments were asked to provide the following information:
ITEM NO. DESCRIPTION (Cover Page) Name and Address of the establishment and its reporting unit Control Panel for Establishment Characteristics (For NSO Use Only) 1 Economic Activity or Business in 2010 2 Year Started Operation 3 Legal Organization in 2010 4 Economic Organization in 2010 Name and Address of Main Office and Contact Person in Main Office 5 Capital Participation as of 31 December 2010 6 Number of Paid Employees as of 15 November 2010 7 Number of Unpaid Workers as of 15 November 2010 8 Total Employment as of 15 November 2010 9 Number of Production/Construction Workers as of 15 November 2010 (only in ASPBI Form 2 and ASPBI Form 3) 10 Total Hours Worked by Production/Construction Workers in 2010 (only in ASPBI Form 2 and ASPBI Form 3) 11 Gross Salaries and Wages Paid in 2010 12 Total Employer's Contributions to SSS/GSIS, etc. paid in 2009 13 Total Revenue in 2010 14 Subsidies Received in 2010 15 Total Cost Incurred in 2010 16 Capital Expenditures and Sale of Tangible Fixed Assets including Losses and Damages in 2010 17 Capital Expenditures for All Tangible Fixed Assets by Mode of Acquisition in 2010 18 Capital Expenditures for Intangible Assets in 2010 19 Book Value of Tangible Fixed Assets as of 31 December 2010 20 Book Value of Intangible Assets as of 31 December 2010 21 Average Capacity Utilization RTE in 2010 (only in ASPBI Form 2) 22 Inventories in 2010 23 Branches, Divisions, Plants Owned and Controlled (for Main Office) 24 Remarks 25 Certification Contact Person Processing Information (FOR NSO USE ONLY) FRAME OF ESTABLISHMENTS
The 2010 ASPBI sampling frame was extracted from the 2010 List of Establishments (LE). There were about 778,000 establishments in operation in the country in 2010. Distribution of these establishments reveals that about 610,000 establishments are classified as the informal sector and the remaining 168,000 establishments are classified as the “formal” sector. However, around 89% (150,000) of establishments classified in the “formal” sector are within the coverage of the 2010 ASPBI and thus, comprise the frame of the survey.
SAMPLING DESIGN
The 2010 ASPBI utilized stratified systematic sampling. The regions, five-digit PSIC (industry strata) and the employment size served as the stratification variables.
Geographic Domain. For establishments with total employment of 20 and over, the geographic domain were the regions. For establishments with total employment of less than 20, the whole country served as the geographic domain.
Industry Domain. The industry domain comprised 1,228 sub-classes (5-digit PSIC), regardless of employment size.
Employment Stratum. Some employment sizes were combined to comprise an employment stratum and were limited to only five strata for all sectors. The basic consideration for grouping was the concentration of establishments in the employment sizes.
Within the industry domains for each sector, the establishments were grouped according to the following employment stratum:
Employment Stratum 1 - 9 (size 0 and 1) 10 - 19 (size 2) 20 - 49 (size 3) 50 - 99 (size 4) 100 and over (size 5 to 9) Sample size. For establishments with employment of less than 20, the sample size was obtained by applying the specific sampling rates for each employment stratum of the industry domain at the national level. The total sample size for establishments with employment of less than 20 was 15,200 establishments.
For establishments with employment of 20 and over, the sample size was obtained by applying the specific sampling rates for the ith employment stratum in the jth industry stratum at the national level and allocating to the regions. The aggregate sample size for employment of 20 and over in all sectors was 12,800 establishments.
The total number of samples for the 2010 ASPBI was 28,000, which included establishments with Total Employment of less than 20.
MILESTONES
The process of generating the desired statistics from the 2010 ASPBI is a 2-year cycle in compliance with EO 352, i.e. preliminary results one year after and final results two years after field operations.
The milestones by which the survey was monitored were:
- Preparatory activities, including a write-shop was undertaken to finalize the 2010 ASPBI questionnaire and the Field Operations and Processing Manual on February 23 – 25, 2011.
Trainings for field operations and processing - which were conducted in 3 levels on staggered dates – March 7 - 10, 2011 in Puerto Galera for the Task Force or First Level Training; March 22 - 24, 2011 for the Regional or Second Level Training; and March 28 - 30, 2011 for the Provincial or Third Level Training.
Some of these field operations trainings also served as venues for the regional data dissemination of the 2008 ASPBI and the 2008 Survey of Information and Communications Technology (SICT). Regional data dissemination activities were also conducted during the period August to September 2010.
- Distribution of questionnaires was done by 471 provincial staff (228 regular field staff and 243 hired statistical researchers) through personal delivery of questionnaires to sample establishments in April 2011.
- Generally, timetable for collection was programmed from May to June 2011. For regions with large workload such as NCR and Region IV-A, timetable for collection was until September 2011. Actual collection of accomplished questionnaires was extended to November 2011 to allow more time for collection of establishments that were considered as industry leaders. Total response rate at the national level was 95 percent.
- The computerized Monitoring and Tracking System (MTS) which enabled the Field Offices to submit the progress reports electronically, was enhanced for added information such as names, addresses and phone numbers of contact persons.
- Workshop on machine processing particularly for the edit specification and table specification and format was conducted in San Fernando, Pampanga on September 28 to October 1, 2010.
- Preliminary tables of the 2010 ASPBI became available starting August 2012.
- Sectoral and Economy-Wide Special Releases in PDF in CD on the preliminary results of the 2010 ASPBI as well as the 2010 SICT are now available.
Final tables are planned to be completed early next year. Statistical tables at the regional level at the 5-digit PSIC will be available for establishments with total employment of 20 and over. For establishments with total employment of less than 20, the data will be available up to the national level only.
RESPONSE RATE
The overall response rate at the national level is 95.0 percent. Response rate includes receipts of “good” questionnaires, partially accomplished questionnaires, consolidated reports, reports of closed, cannot be located, moved out or transferred, out of scope, refusals, duplicates and referrals.

Economic activity or business is the activity of the establishment as classified under the amended 1994 Philippine Standard Industrial Classification (PSIC). Generally, the main activity of the establishment is the establishment's principal source of income. If the establishment is engaged in several activities, its main activity is that which earns the biggest income or revenue.
Employment is the number of persons who worked in or for this establishment as of November 15, 2006.
Average total employment is the sum of the number of persons who worked in or for this establishment for all months of the year divided by 12, regardless of the number of months the establishment is in operation.
Paid employees are all persons working in the establishment and receiving pay, as well as those working away from the establishment paid by and under the control of the establishment. Included are all employees on sick leave, paid vacation or holiday. Excluded are consultants, home workers, workers receiving pure commissions only, and workers on indefinite leave.
Salaries and wages are payments in cash or in kind to all employees, prior to deductions for employee's contributions to SSS/GSIS, withholding tax, etc. Included are total basic pay, overtime pay, and other benefits.
Value of output represents the sum of the total value of products sold, receipts from contract work and industrial services done for others, receipts from goods sold in the same condition as purchased less cost of goods sold, fixed assets produced on own account, and change in inventories of finished products and work-in-progress (ending less beginning). In the past surveys/censuses, estimation of value of output was not net of cost of goods sold but included change in inventory (ending less beginning) of goods for resale.
Cost of materials, fuels and electricity consumed and industrial services refers to expenses incurred in the production of goods and industrial services such as materials and supplies purchased, fuels purchased, electricity purchased and industrial services done by others and change in inventory of materials, supplies and fuels (beginning less ending). In the past surveys/censuses, cost of materials, fuels and electricity consumed and industrial services also include goods purchased for resale.
Value added is an indicator which measures the value of output minus the intermediate inputs.
Revenue is the value of goods, products/by-products sold and/or services rendered to others whether paid in cash or is considered receivable by the establishment. Valuation of products/by products sold should be in producers’ price (ex-establishment), net of discounts and allowances, including duties and charges but excluding subsidies. It also include goods transferred and/or services rendered to other establishment belonging to the same enterprise as the said establishment which should be treated as sales or as if sold to a customer; and revenue from products on a contractual basis from materials supplied by the establishment.
Cost refers to all expenses incurred during the year whether paid or payable. Valuation should be at market price including taxes and other charges, net of discounts, rebates, returns and allowances. Goods received from and services rendered by other establishment of the same enterprise are valued as though purchased.
Fixed assets are physical assets expected to have productive life of more than one year and intended for use and/or being used by the establishment. Included are land, buildings, other structures and land improvements, transport equipment, fixtures, machinery, tool, furniture, office equipment and other fixed assets.
Gross addition to fixed assets is the sum of costs of new and used fixed assets acquired during the year, cost of alteration and improvements done by others and cost of fixed assets produced by the establishment less the value of sales of fixed assets during the year.
Book value is the initial value or acquisition cost of fixed assets less the accumulated depreciation.
Inventories refer to the stocks of goods owned by and under the control of the establishment as of a fixed date, regardless of where the stocks are located. Valuation should be at current replacement cost in purchasers’ price at the indicated dates. Replacement cost is the cost of an item in terms of its present price rather than its original price.
Change in Inventories is equivalent to the total value of inventories at the end of the year less the value at the beginning of the year.
Subsidies are special grants in the form of financial assistance or tax exemption or tax privilege given by the government to aid and develop an industry or production and to protect it against competition.
