In reality, profits in excess of 1oo % may exist. In 
the caoe where k <1 we can,however, always ensure 
that the conditions are net and (4) remains applicable 
As before, we rotate the diagonal round a poii 
it is parallel to the regression line (see fig. 
and along that line the distribution is truncated. If 
46*ft 
we choose the point appropriately, we can reduce the 
number of incomes truncated. In algebraic terms, we 
define W* » Vi^W©t and we tfrite (4) in the following 
form:

The resulting income distribution differs only by a 
constant factor from (4). Since the transformation (5), 
however, is only applicable to wealth not smaller than 
V 0 , it can be intuitively seen that the income distrib 
ution will start only at the level Y « V 0 to cbnfftrm to

always be projected from wealth on to income, but\de- 
peading on the shape of the regression line, the ih^come 
distribution will confirm to linearity only from a mbre
