Πρόκειται για τίτλο και στοιχείο ενός πίνακα με τίτλο "Σύγκριση οργανικών κερδών απασχολούμενων κεφαλαίων και υπερπροσόδου". Δεν έχω την παραμικρή ιδέα τί μπορεί να σημαίνει...ούτε καν στα ελληνικά!

Capital Employed
1. The total amount of capital used for the acquisition of profits.

2. The value of all the assets employed in a business.

3. Fixed assets plus working capital.

4. Total assets less current liabilities.

This is a term that is frequently used, but very difficult to define. Primarily because there is no agreement as to how it should be calculated.

All definitions generally refer to the investment required for a business to function.

agree  Andras Mohay: "capital employed" (sg.) - Στα Αγγλικά ο ενικός συχνότερα έχει περιληπτική έννοια. - Πάντως συγχαρητήρια για την ταχύτητα της απάντησης

  -> Eυχαριστώ, Andras. //Έχεις δίκιο αλλά ξέρεις τι γίνεται; Σε ότι αφορά τα οικονομικά, συνήθως αρκούμαι στους γενικούς όρους και δεν έχω και μεγάλη ιδέα από το τεχνικό τους μέρος. Πάντως το διορθώνω και στο γλωσσάρι για να μείνει σωστά.
