These two examples have write-down as hyphenated. Svensson's ordbog has writedown and write-down. I suggest you use the hyphenation.

'Afskrivninger' er den forventede, beregnelige værdiforringelse af et aktiv, mens 'nedskrivning' er en ekstraordinær værdiforringelse, der opstår som følge af noget uventet (f.eks. en ændring i markedsværdien af et givent aktiv).

Example sentence(s):
  • unless adequate provision for writing down the value of that
