Wertschöpfungsquote

English translation: value added ratio

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

English translation:value added ratio

German term or phrase: Wertschöpfungsquote
"Nur ein Teil dieses Nettoumsatzes wird in den betrachteten Branchen zu direkter Wertschöpfung, d. h. im weitesten Sinne zu Einkommen und Löhnen, ein anderer Teil wird für den Bezug von Vorleistungen wieder ausgegeben. ***Da sich XX in der Struktur ihrer Tourismusausgaben nur geringfügig vom Bundesdurchschnitt unterscheiden, kann eine durchschnittliche Wertschöpfungsquote von 42 % für die erste Umsatzstufe verwendet werden.***"

I am confused about both 'Wertschöpfungsquote' and 'erste Umsatzstufe'. I think I understand about (in this case tourism) generating added value, but don't know how this relates to the 'Quote' or what the 'Umsatzstufen' are (text goes on to talk about the second Umsatzstufe, too).

TIA

value added ratio
Explanation:
etwas verkürzt, wobei nicht ganz klar ist, ob "operating profit to value added ratio" oder "ratio of value added to sales" gemeint ist (ich würde zur zweiten Annahme tendieren, da Du Umsätze erwähnst)

Noch klarere Aussage: Ich bin *fast* davon überzeugt, das hier das Verhältnis Wertschöpfung zu Umsatz gemeint ist, also meine zweite Variante. Das zitierte Dokument enthält darüber hinaus weitere Kennzahlen, so u.a. \"MC/VA ratio\" (ratio of market capitalisation to value added).

disagree  Steffen Walter: In your example - and in almost every case, BTW - EN "quote" is equivalent to DE "Angebot" NOT to "Quote" (cf. RFQ - request for quotes).

disagree  Ted Wozniak: Steffan is correct regarding "quote"

value-added ratio - intial revenue stage/step


Explanation:
Hi Karin!! Wie geht's? Ich stimme Steffan sowie Antoinette zu. (Hallo Antoinette! Wie geht's in San Antone?).

Hier geht es um das Verhältniss zwischen Umsatz und Merhwert, d.h. wie viel Mehrwert wird pro Umsatzeinhiet erzeugt. Und da hier wohl eine Skalaeffekt gibt, wird das Verhältniss stufenweise abgekurzt, z.B. 42% in der erste Stufe, 38% in der 2. usw.

Why not


Explanation:
value added rate?

Quota relates to something being allocated and 'ratio' calls for a reference to another value



Simply: value was added at a rate of 42% during the first stage

neutral  Steffen Walter: There *is* a ref to another value/figure in Karin's text -> sales, so "ratio" seems appropriate.
