Italian term
United Kingdom
“k” di commessa
Italian to English
Bus/Financial
Accounting
In a text about using the "cost-to-cost" method of evaluating work in progress:
**
La dimensione “Rtot / Ctot” è un valore costante che rappresenta il margine a vita intera della commessa, definito “k” di commessa.
**
[R = revenues; C = costs]
I can only find one (questionable) reference to a contract's "k" in this sense, so fear I may be missing something.
Many thanks.

"p" of the project
Hi David, I really think here that the "k" is really just a letter selected randomly by the author. He couldn't use "c" for "commessa" because he already has "c" for "costi". I wonder if "r" is for "revenues" or "ricavi"?
However, the "cost-to-cost" method is used for projects, where a project is long-term (over 12 months) and very often construction. Hence, I suggest "p".
IAS 22 Construction Contracts does mention projects and project managers briefly.
So you could keep to "contract" with your "K", alternatively the variable referred to is a constant, so you could keep to the k in that sense.
