Dutch term

x aftoetsen ten opzichte van y

Non-PRO Dutch to English Bus/Financial Finance (general)
This is about assessing the economic feasibility of physicochemical treatment of wastewater from industrial laundries.

Om de economische haalbaarheid van de fysico-chemische zuivering in te schatten **toetsen we de kosten van de investering af ten opzichte van** de omzet, toegevoegde waarde, bedrijfsresultaat en de investeringen in vaste activa.

Followed by a table:
Verhouding Jaarlijkse kost tot [= heading)
Omzet
Bedrijfswinst
Toegevoegde waarde

Verhouding investering tot:
Gemiddelde investering voorbije 4 jaar

Assuming 'verhouding x tot' means 'ratio of x to', does this phrase just mean 'compare against'?
