Question 17 NECO • 2019 • AGRICULTURAL_SCIENCE • objective

A forest stand has an initial timber volume of \(150\ \text{m}^3\) per hectare and grows at a constant annual rate of \(5\%\) of its current volume. A manager plans to harvest a fixed amount \(H\) (\(\text{m}^3\)/ha) at the end of each year for \(10\) consecutive years. The policy requires that after each harvest the remaining volume never falls below \(120\ \text{m}^3\)/ha. Determine the greatest possible value of \(H\) and the total volume harvested over the \(10\)-year period.

Answer Options

A. Maximum constant harvest H ≈ 9.0 m³/ha; total harvested over 10 years ≈ 90 m³/ha.
B. Maximum constant harvest H ≈ 8.75 m³/ha; total harvested over 10 years ≈ 87.5 m³/ha.
C. Maximum constant harvest H ≈ 10.5 m³/ha; total harvested over 10 years ≈ 105 m³/ha.
Correct Answer D. Maximum constant harvest H ≈ 9.89 m³/ha; total harvested over 10 years ≈ 98.9 m³/ha.
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
Maximum constant harvest H ≈ 9.89 m³/ha; total harvested over 10 years ≈ 98.9 m³/ha.
