Notes to answerer
Asker: How do you distinguish between sonstiger Betriebsbedarf and sonstiger Betriebsaufwand, because the author seems to be: sonstiger Betriebsbedarf = sonstiger Betriebsaufwand abzüglich übriger betrieblicher Erträge


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Harald Moelzer (medical-translator)

neutral  casper (X): The same translation has been already suggested above by Andrea Hauer at 3 minutes. At KudoZ we "agree" with the previously suggested answer instead of submitting a ditto answer suggestion.
