Bus/Financial - Accounting / accounting
German term or phrase: AHK
"Das Investitionsvolumen (AHK) im Geschäftsjahr 01 betrug TEuro 453."

Agree with the suggestion above, but...


Explanation:
since a translation was requested: "Cost of Purchase and/or Manufacturing" I would translate it. "Or", in English, IMO, works better.
