1                       The sum of the following components:
                        (a) $7.87 multiplied by the number worked out under subclause (2) (the research and development component);
                        (b) 13 cents multiplied by the number worked out under subclause (2) (the biosecurity activity component);
                        (c) 0 cents multiplied by the number worked out under subclause (2) (the biosecurity response component)

 (2) The number is:
 (a) if the number of strawberry runners purchased is 1,000 or more—the number of runners purchased divided by 1,000 and rounded up, if necessary, to the nearest whole number; or
 (b) if the number of strawberry runners purchased is less than 1,000—1.
Example 1: Assume 10,000 strawberry runners are purchased for use in the production of strawberries. Since the number of runners purchased is a multiple of 1,000, the relevant number is 10 (10,000 divided by 1,000 with no rounding up required). The rate is $78.70 ($7.87 x 10) + $1.30 (13 cents x 10) = $80.
Example 2: Assume 4,800 strawberry runners are purchased for use in the production of strawberries. Since the number of runners purchased is more than 1,000 but not a multiple of 1,000, the relevant number is 5 (4,800 divided by 1,000, which is 4.8 and rounded up to 5). The rate is $39.35 ($7.87 x 5) + 65 cents (13 cents x 5) = $40.
Example 3: Assume 800 strawberry runners are purchased for use in the production of strawberries. Since the number of runners purchased is less than 1,000, the relevant number is 1. The rate is $7.87 ($7.87 x 1) + 13 cents (13 cents x 1) = $8.
