This is the commercial value of the trees minus the costs of felling, hauling, etc. The graph in Figure 1.39 shows the net stumpage value V, in dollars per acre, of a Douglas fir stand in the Pacific Northwest as a function of the age t, in years, of the stand. FIGURE 1.39 Net stumpage value of a Douglas Fir a. Estimate the net stumpage value of a Douglas fir 1 stand that is 60 years old. b. Estimate the age of a Douglas fir stand whose net stumpage value is 40,000peracre. c. At what age does the commercial value of the stand equal the costs of felling, hauling, etc.? d. At what age is the net stumpage value increasing the fastest? e. This graph shows V only up to age t=160years, but the Douglas fir lives for hundreds of years. Draw a graph to represent what you expect for V over the life span of the tree. Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardReminderRound all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated. Minimum WageOn July 24, 2008, the federal minimum wage was 6.55perhour. On July 24, 2009, this wage was raised to 7.25perhour. If W(t) denotes the minimum wage, in dollars per hour, as function of time, in years, use the given information to estimate dWdt in 2009.arrow_forwardReminderRound all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated.

Health Plan The managers of an employee health plan for a firm have studied the balance B, in millions of dollars, in the plan account as a function of t, the number of years since the plan was instituted. They have determined that the rate of change dBdt in the account balance is given by the formula dBdt=10e0.1t12. a.
