Year-end level from unpublished BEA data on nonfinancial corporate historical cost stock of entertainment, literary, and artistic originals (a portion of Fixed Asset Table 4.3 Historical-Cost Net Stock of Private Nonresidential Fixed Assets by Industry Group and Legal Form of Organization; line 40, Corporate, Nonfinancial, Intellectual property products). Other quarter's levels are derived from year-end level, plus the quarterly unadjusted transactions calculated as current cost gross investment ( FOF series FU105013053) less historical cost depreciation. Historical cost depreciation is calculated as NIPA, Table 1.14 Gross Value Added of Domestic Corporate Business in Current Dollars and Gross Value Added of Nonfinancial Domestic Corporate Business in Current and Chained Dollars, line 18, Consumption of fixed capital (quarterly), multiplied by the ratio of historical cost depreciation of entertainment, literary, and artistic originals (a portion of Fixed Asset Table 4.6 Historical-Cost Depreciation of Private Nonresidential Fixed Assets by Industry Group and Legal Form of Organization, line 40, Corporate, Nonfinancial, Intellectual property products), divided by NIPA, Table 1.14 Gross Value Added of Domestic Corporate Business in Current Dollars and Gross Value Added of Nonfinancial Domestic Corporate Business in Current and Chained Dollars, line 18, Consumption of fixed capital (annual). Unadjusted transactions are the change in the levels. Data for the most recent ten years show no significant seasonality.
