cap


Explanation:
Hola, Paul :-)

Te paso un ejemplo de cap usado como tope o límite máximo (la traducción que da Marina Orellana):

6.25-Percent Cap Proposed On Faculty Salary Increases

Among the hundreds of amendments to the 1998-2000 budget submitted earlier by former Gov. George Allen, the new administration has proposed capping annual salary increases for faculty members in state institutions of higher education at 6.25 percent.

Otro:

HMOs nationwide are blaming the 2 to 3 percent cap Congress has imposed on Medicare payments for 1998, contending they cannot make profits unless they cut back on benefits or raise premiums for Medicare enrollees. Then again, Medicare HMOs got fat increases of just under 6 percent in 1997 and more than 10 percent in 1996.

Espero que te sirva y te puedas ir a dormir... :-)
