Abstract

Describes a computer program, written in FORTRAN, which has been developed to assist in evaluating long-term forestry investments. A series of discount rates are used to calculate the internal rate of return and discounted costs, incomes, and net worth for any investments specified by the user. The features of the program are illustrated and discussed in detail, and all technical documentation is included.
