ACTUAL AND EXPECTED NEW CAPITAL EXPENDITURE


FINANCIAL YEARS AT CURRENT PRICES

The graphs below show the seven estimates of actual and expected expenditure for each financial year. The estimates appearing below relate to data contained in Tables 5 and 6. Advice about the application of realisation ratios to these estimates is in paragraph 26 to 29 of the Explanatory Notes.

The timing and construction of these estimates are as follows:

Estimate Based on data reported at:	Data on long-term expected expenditure	Data on short-term expected expenditure	Data on actual expenditure
1 Jan-Feb, 5-6 months before period begins	12 months	Nil	Nil
2 Apr-May, 2-3 months before period begins	12 months	Nil	Nil
3 Jul-Aug, at beginning of period	6 months	6 months	Nil
4 Oct-Nov, 3-4 months into period	6 months	3 months	3 months
5 Jan-Feb, 6-7 months into period	Nil	6 months	6 months
6 Apr-May, 9-10 months into period	Nil	3 months	9 months
7 Jul-Aug, at end period	Nil	Nil	12 months
