Japanese term
責任額比
Japanese to English
Bus/Financial
Manufacturing
This is a stand-alone term, followed by a percentage, in an overview of a company's business performance. There is no further text pertaining to this term.
Does anyone know the appropriate English term? Is it liability ratio, or something similar?
Thank you in advance!
