Download or read book Ranking Independent Timber Investments by Alternative Investment Criteria written by Thomas John Mills and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sample of 231 independent timber investments were ranked by internal rate of return, present net worth per acre and the benefit cost ratio--the last two discounted by 3, 6.4. 7.5. and 10 percent--to determine if the different criteria had a practical influence on timber investment ranking. The samples in this study were drawn from a group of timber investments partially financed by Forestry Incentives Program costshare funds. The investment rankings were quite similar among the three criteria. Under constrained investment budgets, the benefit/cost criteria produced the investment selection with the greatest cumulative present net worth. Under less severe budget constraints, all three criteria produced investment selections with essentially the same cumulative present net worth.
Download or read book Seed Dissemination in Small Clearcuttings in North central California written by Philip M. McDonald and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 796 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a 1964-1967 study on the Challenge Experimental Forest, seedfall was evaluated in 2-, 5-, and 10-acre circular clearcuttings. During the 4 years, 10 seed crops, ranging from light to bumper, were produced by ponderosa pine. white fir, Douglas-fir, and incense cedar. Seedfall ranged from 76 to 40,691 sound seed per acre (188 to 100,547/ha) for a single species in a given year. From 89 to 100 percent of each species' seed fell within an area 1 1/2 times the height of the average dominant tree. Overall, seed distribution was highly variable.
Download or read book Forestry Economics written by John E. Wagner and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-22 with total page 621 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forestry Economics introduces students and practitioners to the economics of managing forests and forest enterprises. The book adopts the approach of managerial economics textbooks and applies this to the unique problems and production processes faced by managers of forests and forest enterprises. What many future forest and natural resource managers need is to understand what economic information is and how to use it to make better business and management decisions. John E. Wagner draws on his 30 years of experience teaching and working in the field of forest resource economics to present students with an accessible understanding of the unique production processes and problems faced by forest and other natural resource managers. The second edition has been updated to include: Expanded discussion of compounding, discounting, and capital budgeting, as well as an expanded discussion of when to replace a capital asset that has (i) costs but no direct revenue stream such as a machine; (ii) costs and a direct annual revenue stream such as a solar array; or (iii) costs and a periodic revenue stream illustrated by the forest rotation problem. New practical examples to provide students with applications of the concepts being discussed in the text, most notably on New Zealand and a Radiata Pine (Pinus radiata) Plantation. A brand-new chapter that develops business plans for for-profit businesses to illustrate how a business plan is derived from the economic information contained within the Architectural Plan for Profit and how it can be used to make business decisions about continuing to operate a business or to start a new business. This textbook is an invaluable source of clear and accessible information on forestry economics and management not only for economics students, but also for students of other disciplines and those already working in forestry and natural resources.
