An experimental teak plantation has a standing timber volume of 2000 m³ at the beginning of year 0. After 10 years of undisturbed growth, the volume is measured to be 2600 m³. Assume the volume grows exponentially according to \(V(t)=V_0 e^{kt}\). The forest manager wishes to adopt a sustainable‑yield system in which a constant volume \(H\) (in m³) is harvested at the end of each year, and the remaining stand continues to grow with the same exponential rate. Determine the greatest constant annual harvest \(H\) that can be taken each year while keeping the standing volume at the beginning of each year equal to the initial 2000 m³. Give your answer to the nearest whole cubic metre.

B. 71 m³
C. 60 m³
D. 48 m³
Correct Answer
A
Correct Option:
53 m³
