Update 16.03.2017

Dear users of the BGL,
from 16.03.2017 onwards, the calculation of depreciation and interest as well as of the repair costs of the digital products in the BGL will be subject to adaptation. Unfortunately, the implementation of the online version has produced an imprecision which we have now corrected in accordance with the formulas presented in the basic information.
Rounding up and rounding down operations may, in single cases, still lead to minor deviations in the depreciation and interest values and in the repair costs. Please note that these values will then be different from those in the book version!
Therefore, we would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused to users of the BGL. We are nevertheless confident that you too will benefit from this correction.
