额外股利

" I believe the best way to think about our earnings is in terms of "look-through results, calculated as follows: Take $250 million, which is roughly our share of the 1990 operating earnings retained by our investees; subtract $30 million, for the incremental taxes we would have owed had that $250 million been paid to us in dividends; and add the remainder,$220 million, to our reported operating earnings of $371 million.

我个人相信最好的方式是利用透视的方法来衡量伯克希尔的盈余，2 亿 5，000 万美元大概是我们在 1990 年可以从被投资公司那边未分配到的营业利润，扣除 3，000 万的额外股利所得税，再将剩下的 2 亿 2，000 万美元加到本来的帐列盈余 3 亿 7，100 万，所得的 5 亿 9，000 万大概就是我们经过透视的真正盈余。
