Kaufpreises

Kaufpreises is the genitive singular form of the German noun Kaufpreis. The base term Kaufpreis denotes the price agreed in a purchase contract for a good or service, and it is the central figure in most commercial transactions, serving as the basis for settlement between buyer and seller.

The purchase price is typically the result of negotiation and reflects factors such as supply and demand, the condition and age of the item, brand or quality, depreciation, and any included terms (warranty, delivery, financing). In real estate and corporate transactions, the Kaufpreis may be influenced by appraisals and may include adjustments or contingencies. In some deals, components such as earn-outs or contingent considerations are used to align long-term value between parties.

Legal and contractual context: The Kaufpreis can be fixed or subject to adjustment and is usually specified in the purchase agreement. Payment terms may include upfront payment, installments, deposits, or escrow arrangements. Transfer of ownership and risk often takes place at delivery and upon completion of payment, in accordance with applicable law and contract terms.

Valuation and accounting: In financial reporting, the Kaufpreis is recorded as the purchase value of acquired assets. When acquiring a company, the price is allocated to tangible and intangible assets, with possible recognition of goodwill. Tax considerations, such as VAT or transfer taxes, may affect the net price and payment structure.
