Restverschil

Restverschil is a Dutch term that translates to "residual difference" or "remaining difference" in English. It generally refers to the amount of something that is left over after a process of reduction, calculation, or comparison has been completed. The specific meaning of restverschil can vary depending on the context in which it is used.

In accounting and finance, restverschil might refer to the difference between the book value of an asset and its actual sale price, or the remaining amount of a debt after partial payments. It can also indicate an error or discrepancy in financial records that has not yet been reconciled.

In scientific and engineering fields, restverschil can denote the unpredicted variation in experimental results after accounting for known factors and errors. It might also be the difference between a theoretical model's prediction and observed data. For example, in chemistry, it could be the unreacted portion of a substance after a reaction.

In everyday language, restverschil can simply mean the leftover amount of anything. If you buy something and have some money returned, the restverschil is the change you receive. If you're sharing a cake and some slices remain, those are the restverschil. The core concept is always about what remains after something has been taken away, accounted for, or measured.
