CORPORATE PROFITS DISTRIBUTION: Corporate profits are the excess revenue received by corporations over their accounting costs of production. Total corporate profits are distributed in three basic ways. One portion is used to pay corporate profits taxes. A second is undistributed corporate profits retained by corporations to finance capital investment. And a third is then paid out as dividends to shareholders, or corporate owners.
