(iv) LIC’s National Animal Database operating costs apportioned to the provision of core data for herd recording.
(v) The costs of postage and printing attributable to the first output.

The actual charges for the 2011/2012 seasons are shown in the attached schedule.
The calculation of these charges requires assumptions about volumes of work carried out in each activity. In particular, it depends on the number of times the database is accessed for data for all purposes and on the volumes of records in all output. These assumptions are made in advance of each season and are used for pricing in the forthcoming season.
