PiM Mini Model on Associated Costs by Kai Neumann

Step 1 Level Resource 1 Resource A Target Finished (Step 2) Finished (Step 1) Overall Costs Total Costs Step 3 Value of Target Step 2
This mini model shows one of two ways to calculate costs within PROCESS-iMODELER models. Costs can be either as shown here the directly associated costs or like shown in another model the costs of the availability of the resources. For the associated costs you simply connect the process factors to a normal factor and use the costs() function times the process. The costs() value of each process step is the sum of the costs (a parameter of the resource- and level-resource factors) that are connected with t...

Not also that everybody with an income above average that rejects to earn less is part of the development.
