Description
Return suppliedSupportPrice-referencePrice as a signed price wedge, using the same currency and quantity basis.
Agricultural policy budgets distinguish supplied reference prices, eligible bases, marginal rates, match shares, caps and tax assumptions. Arithmetic can reconcile a stated scenario without determining what a real program permits or what anyone is owed. Percentage numbers, fractional rates and currency-per-unit rates must remain distinct.

}Limitations and assumptions
- The prices are supplied; this does not determine current policy, actual market effects or a legal entitlement.
- 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
Consult current authoritative program/tax documents and qualified financial/legal professionals for actual eligibility, obligations and entitlements.
