acquisition cost
Explanation:
Describes the cost of purchasing a device, plus the cost of commisioning it (preparation, installation, training, extraordinary startup costs etc). Anskaffelsespris would be the purchase price, which gets written of over several years, while the difference is usually charged as straight expenses.

historical cost of asset; original cost (liability entered at)


Explanation:
Confusingly, weblinks suggest the acquisition and take-up cost is the same.

Historical cost: the money fig. at which an asset was orig. acquired.

Opp.: current cost of asset/present value of debt: a basis of valuation which values an asset at the amount it would currently cost to obtain.

value of a loan on the date it is taken up


Explanation:
Ifølge Kommunal regnskapsstandard, utgjør opptakskost gjeldspostens pålydende i norske kroner på det tidspunkt som gjelden oppstår.

Anskaffelseskost omfatter kjøpsprisen for omløps- og anleggsmidlet med tillegg for alle utgifter som følger kjøpet/ervervelsen.
