Breakeven
Breakeven is the sale price or calf price required for modeled revenue to cover the costs included in the scenario. Its usefulness depends on whether all relevant costs have been entered.
Cost of gain
In stocker or buy-feed-sell modes, cost of gain relates the modeled costs to pounds gained between purchase and sale weight. Review which costs the tool includes before comparing it with an external benchmark.
Profit or margin per head
This is the modeled revenue less the modeled costs on a per-head or per-cow basis, depending on enterprise mode.
Total projected profit or margin
Total results scale the per-head model to the number of animals represented after the tool's loss/weaning assumptions as applicable.
ROI
ROI expresses modeled profit relative to the modeled capital/cost basis used by the tool. Open Calculation Details to confirm the denominator before comparing scenarios.
Sensitivity
Sensitivity views show how the model changes when you alter sale price, feed cost, death loss, ADG, or weaning percentage. They are not price or performance forecasts.
