There were 18 questions in the questionnaire. The first 12 questions were on identification information. Questions
13-16 were on inputs and output and question number 17 and 18 were about the investment and labor of the
establishments.

The value of goods moved out, receipt of industrial services done for others and opening and closing stocks of output were collected to compile the gross output.

Inputs were the addition of value of raw materials consumed of the year 1996. (i.e. Cost of raw materials adjusted for stocks ) and the consumption of electricity, fuel and water. Book value at the beginning of the year, gross additions during the year, and Depreciation were canvassed under the four components of fixed assets namely, Land, Building and Other Constructions, Machinery and Other Equipment and Transport Equipment.

The number of mail and female national persons engaged were collected separately, but salaries were canvassed only for the total number of employees. In addition to the above non-national employees and their salaries also were canvassed.
