Description
If failed=0 cost is zero; otherwise add failed*(material+labor)+fixed.
Farm economic comparisons depend on fixed/variable costs, opportunity-cost assumptions, depreciation, discount periods and explicit payment limits. A partial margin or finite-difference response differs from total profitability or an optimization-derived shadow price. Supplied rates and tax flags do not determine actual obligations.
If failed=0 cost is zero; otherwise add failed*(material+labor)+fixed.
When to use this tool
Use Perennial Establishment Failure Replant Cost Term when checking the stated caller-defined cost, margin, cap, valuation or sensitivity term.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter planted, failed, materialPerPlant, laborPerPlant, fixedMobilization. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read failureFraction, replantCost, costPerOriginalPlant. Use the output convention below.
Require whole planted>=1 and failed within planted, with nonnegative per-plant costs and mobilization. If failed=0 cost is zero; otherwise add failed*(material+labor)+fixed. Return failure fraction and cost per original planted individual.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| planted | Planted | Required. Safe integer; minimum 1. |
| failed | Failed | Required. Safe integer; minimum 0. |
| materialPerPlant | Material Per Plant | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| laborPerPlant | Labor Per Plant | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| fixedMobilization | Fixed Mobilization | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| failureFraction | Failure Fraction | Required. Finite number. |
| replantCost | Replant Cost | Required. Finite number. |
| costPerOriginalPlant | Cost Per Original Plant | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Mobilization is charged only for positive failures; no failure risk or suitable replanting action is predicted.
- 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
Use a complete verified budget and suitable economic analysis; consult qualified financial/legal professionals for actual investment, contract or tax decisions.
