While permitting greater precision, the values obtained still remain only an approximation.

The value of Crs., varied between % .05 and $ .02. From the total of the Brazilian National Income of the years 1947–1949 we have had to subtract respectively 662, 1,166 and 1,160 millions of Crs. (revenues transferred abroad) in order to obtain the totals of the real (and not the apparent) income which appears in table IX.
