			'''These include indicators for return on investment, fixed costs compared to farm income, average growing costs, and more.'''

	* '''Fixed costs ($/ha)''': whole of farm fixed cost expressed on a per hectare basis. The expectation would be that the greater the size of the farm the lower the fixed costs per hectare.		* '''Fixed costs ($/ha)''': whole of farm fixed cost expressed on a per hectare basis. The expectation would be that the greater the size of the farm the lower the fixed costs per hectare.
	* '''Total fixed costs/Total farm income''': indicates what proportion of total farm income went towards the payment of whole of farm fixed costs. Lower figures may be attributed to economies of scale, a more efficient farming system which requires less machinery or a high income. This figure will be influenced by price fluctuations, therefore it is difficult to benchmark over time.		* '''Total fixed costs/Total farm income''': indicates what proportion of total farm income went towards the payment of whole of farm fixed costs.

			'''These include indicators using a dollar per hectare ($/ha) and a dollar per tonne ($/tonne) measure, for cane farm income, cane variable costs, cane breakeven income and more.'''

	* '''Total sugarcane farm income, net of levies and bonuses ($/ha and $/tonne)''': income derived by the sugarcane enterprise relative to its size in hectares and tonnes. Already defined above.		* '''Total sugarcane farm income, net of levies and bonuses ($/ha and $/tonne)''': income derived by the sugarcane enterprise relative to its size in hectares and tonnes. Already defined above.
	* '''Cane variable costs ($/ha and $/tonne)''': costs associated with growing cane that are directly related to the level of output from the business (e.g. harvesting, chemicals, fertiliser, fuel, oil repairs, contractors, etc.). The amount spent is under the control of the manager and can be changed quickly in the short term. A high figure may indicate that the business needs to review its farming system practices or it may have a high proportion of contracted operations, leased land or casual labour.		* '''Cane variable costs ($/ha and $/tonne)''': costs associated with growing cane that are directly related to the level of output from the business (e.g. harvesting, chemicals, fertiliser, fuel, oil repairs, contractors, etc.).

The calculation includes land and fixed improvements (eg. sheds, water mains and dams) and influences the return on investment calculation.
	* '''Machinery Investment ($/ha)''': a guide to whether the whole of farm business is over or under capitalized. Includes all machinery and equipment used to run the farming business. This measure should only be compared with values for farms of the same type and size. This figure can also influence the return on investment calculation.		* '''Machinery Investment ($/ha)''': a guide to whether the whole of farm business is over or under capitalized.

	* '''Return On Investment - whole enterprise (%)''': measures the economic return achieved relative to the value of all the farm’s resources. The figure indicates whole of farm profitability, however it does not include financing costs or taxes.		* '''Return On Investment - whole enterprise (%)''': measures the economic return achieved relative to the value of all the farm’s resources. The figure indicates whole of farm profitability, however it does not include financing costs or taxes.
	* '''Casual Labour Hours (hrs/yr)''': calculated by summing both machinery and irrigation labour hours across the whole farm. Casual Labour Hours are important when comparing two scenarios with different management practices that influence labour requirements (different row spacing or irrigation systems), particularly when variable labour has not been allocated costs (e.g. $35/hr).		* '''Casual Labour Hours (hrs/yr)''': calculated by summing both machinery and irrigation labour hours across the whole farm.
