Value added does not arise as a result of paying out wages, interest charges, taxes, accounting<br />
for depreciation and generating profits. On the contrary, it is the creation of value added<br />
that allows such amounts <strong>to</strong> be paid or set aside. An increase in salaries alone will not<br />
increase value added as there will be a corresponding decrease in profits.<br />
Figure 4.1 underlines the point that the creation and distribution of value added are two<br />
sides of the same equation. Hence, both the Addition and Subtraction methods should<br />
generate the same result. They are often used <strong>to</strong>gether <strong>to</strong> validate that value added has<br />
been calculated accurately.<br />
