Description
Calculate supplied product price per nutrient-mass unit.
Farm economic terms require explicit cost scope, subsidy treatment, price-index bases, moisture conventions and period rates. A partial input cost per output differs from total economic cost, while an insurance scenario excludes unsupplied policy limits. A nominal margin is conditional on supplied amounts and assumptions.
Calculate supplied product price per nutrient-mass unit.
When to use this tool
Use Fertilizer Price Nutrient Unit Basis when you already have pricePerProductUnit, nutrientMassFraction and need to calculate supplied product price per nutrient-mass unit.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter pricePerProductUnit, nutrientMassFraction. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read pricePerNutrientUnit. Use the output convention below.
Require price>=0 and nutrientMassFraction in (0,1]; divide product-unit price by the fraction.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| pricePerProductUnit | Price Per Product Unit | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| nutrientMassFraction | Nutrient mass/product mass in (0,1], on the stated elemental or oxide reporting basis; not percent. | Required. Finite number; maximum 1; strictly above 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| pricePerNutrientUnit | Price Per Nutrient Unit | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Fraction is nutrient mass/product mass, not percent; nutrient and product unit definitions must match the reported elemental/oxide basis. No composition, efficacy, suitable fertilizer or legal label is verified.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Reconcile actual farm accounts, contracts, policy terms and forecasts. Use complete cost, risk and valuation methods when local per-unit terms or scenarios cannot establish profitability, obligations or appropriate financial decisions.
