German term or phrase: als Marge betrachteten Deckungsbeitrag
Ermittlung eines barwertigen und als Marge betrachteten Deckungsbeitrages.

If Deckungsbeitrag is "contribution margin" how can it also be considered a margin?

contribution considered as margin
Explanation:
I think in this case 'Deckungsbeitrag' can be rendered simply as 'contribution' (i.e. sales minus variable costs).

For some, margin is simply the difference between orginal cost price and selling price.
