agree  Richard Lawson: In view of the fact that this item occurs in a specification, I hardly think that "imputed" can be correct. It clearly means "calculated interest".

imputed interest


Explanation:
This is how I translate into Eng. the German headache equivalent.

This is the first time I've seen the term in a Scand. lang. - if it is indeed a 'home-grown variety'.

'imputed interest. Interest considered by the IRS for tax purposes to
have been paid, *even if no interest was actually paid*. See Also ...'
