3,456 BDT from table 3 (1,956 BDT, nonmerchantable - 1,500 BDT , merchantable). 



Table 6 summarizes and compares costs for the actual operation in n art I and the 

 two simulated harvesting operations in Part II. 



How unit costs compare for the actual operation and the simulated operation, 

 working at maximum capacity (System II), is shown below: 



Operation Merchantable Nonmerchantable 



$/Mfbm $/3DU 



Actual 33.50 19.81 



Simulated (System II) 28.70 16.60 



These figures are weighted averages for the near complete harvesting units 

 (1, 4) for both harvesting systems; i.e., the actual and the simulated operations .
