In the numeric example in OPE-L:5373,
c v sv s/v r
Year 1 100 50 50 100% 33%
Year 2 100 25 50 200% 40%
v and s must be flows over the year, since these columns are used
to calculate the s/v column. But the v column must also be a
stock, since it and the c column, also a stock, are used to
calculate the rate of profit, r = s / (c + v). Using uppercase
letters to distinguish capital stock advanced from flows of
capital over the year, the equation is r = s / (C + V).
Incidentally, turnover time can change because of changes in
production time but also because of a change in the time capital
must spend in circulation, such as the length of time that output
sits on the shelf before someone buys it.
