Bus/Financial - Accounting
English term or phrase: positive jaws
Found this:

positive jaws
A company with high fixed costs (costs that don't vary with sales) is said to have high operational gearing. The implication is that if sales increase by a small amount, there will be a disproportionate increase in profits. Conversely, if sales fall by a small amount, there will be a disproportionately large decrease in profit. Sales volume is very important to companies with high fixed costs. Banks can theoretically increase profits significantly by doing a high volume of new business from the same cost base. The two-pronged approach of doing lots of new business and reducing costs should magnify this effect ie it creates 'positive jaws'.

But what would the Dutch equivalent be?

Thx, Ik denk dat het schaareffect moet zijn. De positieve hefboom is een andere ratio. Een schaareffect staat hier uitgelegd: https://www.test-aankoop.be/invest/schaareffect-s285240.htm en komt overeen met de uitleg zoals ik die eerder in het Engels vond

agree  Ron Willems: klinkt goed; zie de PDFs in http://tinyurl.com/o69rkc8 (ik dacht eerst aan 'hefboomeffect', maar dat heeft blijkbaar vooral te maken met leningen en niet met kosten)

Positief operationeel hefboomeffect


Explanation:
"De operationele hefboomwerking gebruikt de vaste kosten voor het vergroten van de effecten van omzetveranderingen op het bedrijfsresultaat. Hierbij geldt hoe groter de hefboomwerking des te risicovoller de bedrijfsvoering is maar daar tegen over staat de kans op een aanzienlijke stijging in winsten".
