Operations Cost
The cost of operating a fully-utilised unit of a Resource per period (as defined by the Cost Period input) in its Calibration Period, charged pro-rata on the basis of the used capacity of the Resource.
For a consumable resource, operations cost is the cost of using one unit, in proportion to its actual usage, and generated in the period when the capacity is used.
Default: 0.0.
Operations Cost Trend
This is applied to the calibration value you set for Operations Cost for each resource in the Resource/Costs dialog.
Default: Constant {1.0}.
Output Mode
Indicates whether the time factor multiplies or divides:
Aggregate Count: the time factor is in proportion to the length of the current period (in order to infer an aggregate event count from a static input).
Instantaneous Rate: the time factor is in
inverse proportion to the length of the current period (in order to infer an equivalent annual rate from an aggregate input).
Default: Aggregate Count.
Output Unit
Select the output unit that you want to use from the drop-down list box, or define your own. The selection has no effect on the model but is used in results graphs.
Default: none.
Overdraft Rate
The annual interest rate for an overdrawn current account. This is the cost of exploiting a negotiated overdraft facility.
All rates are specified as proportions, e.g., an interest rate of 10% is specified as 0.1.
Default: 0.0.
