Transparent arithmetic, not plant financials

Canola Crush Scenario Calculator

Change seed, output, value, and cost assumptions to see how oil and meal combine. Use one consistent mass basis for all yield entries.

Oil output420 t42% of entered seed
Meal output570 t57% of entered seed
Unallocated mass10 tlosses or other streams in this model
Gross product value$787,500oil value + meal value
Seed plus entered processing cost$775,000only the two entered cost categories
Illustrative residual$12,500not plant profit or investment analysis

What this simplified residual leaves out

Moisture-basis reconciliation, cleaning and refining loss, other streams, freight, energy, labour, chemicals, maintenance, storage, packaging, quality adjustments, contracts, hedging, financing, tax, capital recovery, inventory timing, downtime, and utilization.
