Discussion

Clare Barnes Dec 12, 2005:
I would probably stick with ratio, given that it's in the dictionary and is an established financial term...
Charlesp (asker) Dec 12, 2005:
hi Clare yes, you hit on the point exactly. Nope, there are no figures (has been left blank), so I am a bit less than sufficiently informed.
Thanks for your comment(s) and suggestions.
Charlesp (asker) Dec 12, 2005:
thanks Kim I see the error, it of course should be Swedish - English.
Kim Metzger Dec 12, 2005:
English mono, Charles? - or Swedish?
Can Altinbay Dec 12, 2005:
Is this Swedish as well?

contribution ratio

Gullberg gives contribution ratio for this. Do you have any figures you can look at, as a percentage and a ratio aren't the same thing...
