net worth increase/decrease
Explanation:
Without further context, I assume this to be a line in the accounts which indicates the increase or decrease in the Net Worth (i.e. Assets less Liabilities) of a business or individual, which isn't necessarily the same as profit.

I think this is it, because as you say it's not the same as profit and loss. It includes the value of buildings/machinery etc too. So Net Worth it is.

(bal. sheet) addition(s)/disposal(s) of assets


Explanation:
As a statement of accounts includes (BE) profit and loss account/(AE) income statement as well as general balance sheet with (fixed = *disposable + addable*) assets and/or flow-of-fund analysis, it is very difficult to answer this question without knowing the a/c concerned and main or sub-heading.

Suffice it to say that no previous ProZ answer seems to be astute to the asset addition vs. disposal contrast.

increase/decrease in capital


Explanation:
Looking on the Internet:

Tilgang = Profit for year, new borrowings
Afgang = Loss for year, repayments

So not assets in general or net assets, and not additions and disposals, it's more of a funds flow thing over the year as a whole

This doesn't apply in the context belatedly provided, but it does to the more usual use of the terms
