D. Present value (Table 3a and 3b) cubic 

 foot volume of pole size trees (5 to 11" 

 dbh) is based on the following assump- 

 tions : 



1. An average of thirty years or more 

 may be required before growth will 

 convert the cubic foot volume to a mer- 

 chantable board foot volume. To com- 

 pensate the present value was dis- 

 counted 80%. 



2. Board feet per cubic foot ratio = 4.5 

 to 5.0
