Usually, installment reporting of deferred payment sales for tax purposes will result in deferral of income tax. This note is concerned with the effects of such tax deferral on company profitability and on the flow of funds under varying conditions of sales growth and terms. It is commonly recognized that, with other variables constant, installment sales are growing. However, when sales decline or stabilize following a period of growth, the result is, respectively, the reverse or neutral. Precisely the same pattern was noted in association with tax deferrals achieved by use of accelerated depreciation for tax reporting in company with growing, declining, or stable capital expenditures by a firm.' So far as we know, however, the impact of deferrals resulting from installment reporting upon the present value of company profit flows has never been made explicit. Moreover, profit margins and length of payment terms as well as growth of sales significantly affect the pattern of fund flows associated with deferrals originating from installment reporting. Normative prescriptions are not offered here. Rather, implications of the analysis are left to be read by the wide variety of persons directly concerned in policy contexts, including members of the accounting profession involved in the attempt to reach a consensus with respect to ac-

Economic production systems may break up into subeconomies of goods and processes that can function independently of each other. This article first explores the various kinds of decompositions that may exist in production schemes, nonlinear as well as linear. Some recent techniques developed in graph theory are adopted to ascertain the decompositions possible for a given production system and the precedence relations between the subeconomies of the decomposition. Finally, I show how the concept of tearing from simultaneous equations theory might be used to analyze square input-output models for potential decompositions.

Arc elasticity is estimated for liquor by simply comparing state sales before and after price increases, standardized by states in which price did not change. The technique can be used wherever there are several economic units independent with respect to price changes; it allows causal interpretation and it permits comparison of various length-of-run elasticities.
