current cost accounting Explanation: Romain lists "actual cost accounting" Romain is usually quite good, but I suspect that the "actual" here is the faux ami of "aktuell" and that "current cost accounting" is meant. "Kaufteile" parts that need to be purchased? Yes, need to be purchased, and are regularly purchased to be used in production. [email protected] |

Final costing, acquisition units Explanation: "Final costing" for Nachkalkulation I found in a compiled glossary from several clients of mine. Contact me privately if you need more info. Good luck, Antje |

No, Romain's "actual" actually means "actual" not "current" Explanation: "actual" in the sense of historic, real, factual rather than estimated, etc. Hamblock/Wessels also gives the phrase "statistical cost accounting" if you like that better. Antje's "final costing" also makes it quite clear what is meant. Arthur Andersen uses "actual cost determination" for "Nachkalkulation" and also uses "purchased parts" for "Kaufteile". |

Besides...a product cost and processing estimate based on current revaluation is also...? Explanation: 'Cost accounting' in the USA is really a translation of (among other things)the German word 'Abteilungskostenrechnung,' which has nothing to do with what this short text says to me. I can't be sure because I need to see the verb that goes with 'wird' or a noun with 'zur(m)' indicating what 'die Nachkalkulation' is becoming. 'Nach-' usually means 're-' in English, if the noun it is used with is derived from a verb. |
