The job is a nice little leaflet about a company, but in the centre page is an extract from the annual report and accounts... Not one of my core areas!

I'm not sure what the official term for 'sysselsatt kapital' is, and would be grateful for advice!

capital employed

Explanation:
Tilsvarer helt sikkert det engelske "capital employed".

What Does Capital Employed Mean?
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.

Investopedia explains Capital Employed
This is a term that is frequently used, but very difficult to define because there are so many contexts it can be used in. All definitions generally refer to the investment required for a business to function. By "employing capital" you are making an investment.
