determined without depreciation


Explanation:
My Duden dictionary of abbreviations provides "ohne" as one possible abbreviation for "o." and "bestimmt" as one possible abbreviation for "best." These are the most logical choices among those offered for these two terms. The abbreviations offered for "Entw." include "Entwicklung" and "Entwurf" and "Entwertung." Of these three, depreciation would likely make the most sense in a financial document such as a budget, but it is difficult to tell what is appropriate without more context.
