Marginal Analysis
Resources are limited, therefore we want the most “bang for our bucks” -- benefits from resources allocated to a project
![Page 3: Analytical Tools](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070411/5681474b550346895db48ef3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Marginal Analysis• Economic efficiency
– Maximize “profit”, i.e. total revenue - total costs (TR - TC)
Profit
Slope of TR curve is MR
Slope of TC curve is MC
![Page 4: Analytical Tools](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070411/5681474b550346895db48ef3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Marginal Analysis
• Economic efficiency– Profit maximized where marginal cost =
marginal revenue (MC = MR)
MCATC
Price (P)
P = MR
Quantity (Q)
Market equilibrium exists when,
MR = MC = ATC
No “pure profit” (economic rent) to attract new firms to industry

Assumes perfect competition, i.e., P = MR

Advantage of Marginal Analysis
• Don’t have to do a complete analysis of costs and revenues
• Can estimate MC directly from market price by assuming a given profit percentage
• Can estimate MR from market price and knowledge of market structure, i.e. perfectly competitive, monopolistic, or somewhere in-between.

Applications of Marginal Analysis
• Financial maturity of individual tree
• Minimum size tree to harvest
• Break-even analysis

Biological vs. Financial Maturity
• Financial maturity is based on benefit from letting tree/stand grow for another time period compared to cost for doing so.
• Would you expect biological and financial maturity to occur at the same point in time?

Financial Maturity of Tree
• Compare return on investment with return from other 5-year investments– If rate of return on the alternative is 10% then
don’t cut yet– If rate of return on the alternative is > 20%, then
cut at age 80
• More practical to compare with prevailing annual compound rates of interest?– How can we compute annual compound rate of
interest for changes in value over a 5-year period?
![Page 12: Analytical Tools](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070411/5681474b550346895db48ef3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Estimating Annual Compound Rate of Interest
Use basic compounding multiplier,
Vn = V0 (1+i)n, where,
Vn = value n years in future
V0 = value in year 0 (current time)
n = number of years
i = annual compound rate of interest
![Page 13: Analytical Tools](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070411/5681474b550346895db48ef3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Before solving for I let’s review how compounding and
discounting multipliers are used
![Page 14: Analytical Tools](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070411/5681474b550346895db48ef3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Example of use of compounding multiplier
• Buy $100 worth of stock today
• If it increases in value at a rate of 18% each year, what will it be worth in 5 years?
• V5 = ?, V0 = $100, i = 0.18, n = 5
• V5 = $100 (1.18)5 = $100 x 2.29 = $229
![Page 15: Analytical Tools](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070411/5681474b550346895db48ef3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Example of use of discounting multiplier
• Solve compounding multiplier for V0 by dividing both sides by (1+i)n
• Vn = V0 (1+i)n
• V0 = Vn /(1+i)n = Vn * 1/ (1+i)n
![Page 16: Analytical Tools](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070411/5681474b550346895db48ef3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Solve Compounding Multiplier for i
Vn = V0 (1+i)n
Vn/ V0 = (1+i)n
(Vn/ V0 )1/n = ((1+i)n)1/n = (1+i)n/n = 1+i
(Vn/ V0 )1/n – 1 = i
![Page 17: Analytical Tools](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070411/5681474b550346895db48ef3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Calculate compound rate of interest for 5 year value increments
Age 70 to 75:
i = (186/120)1/5 – 1 = (1.55)0.2 –1 = 1.09 – 1 = 0.09
Age 75 to 80:
i = (234/186)1/5 – 1 = (1.26)0.2 –1 = 1.05 – 1 = 0.05
Age 80 to 85:
i = (260/234)1/5 – 1 = (1.11)0.2 –1 = 1.02 – 1 = 0.02
![Page 18: Analytical Tools](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070411/5681474b550346895db48ef3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

When should we cut?
• Depends on what rate of return the owner is willing to accept.
• We refer to this rate as the owner’s guiding rate or, alternative rate of return.
• Rate is based on owner’s alternative uses for the capital tied-up in the trees.
![Page 20: Analytical Tools](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070411/5681474b550346895db48ef3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
When should we cut?
• If owner’s alternative rate of return is – 10% - cut at age 70– 7% - cut at age 75– 5% - cut at age 75– 1% - let grow to age 85
![Page 21: Analytical Tools](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070411/5681474b550346895db48ef3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
How does an owner select her alternative rate of return?
• Borrowing rate – if she would have to borrow money if tree wasn’t get, she could use the interest rate she would have to pay on the loan, i.e. the “borrowing rate”
• Lending rate – if owner could “lend” the revenue from cutting the tree now to someone else, she could use the rate she would get by making the “loan”

Minimum Size Tree to Cut
Logger buys cutting rights on 200 acre tract of pine pulpwood for lump sum amount of $40,000. Landowner placed no limits on what logger can cut. Logger wants to cut to maximize net revenue (profit). Should he give cutting crew a minimum size tree to cut? Answer with marginal approach.

Compare MC and MB
• If price per cord received by logger is $30, then shouldn’t cut any tree less than about 7 inches.
• If price per cord increases to $35, then cut down to 5 inches.
• If price per cord decreases to $25, then cut down to about 9 inches

Pay as cut contract
• Would minimum diameter change if logger paid for stumpage as trees were cut (log scale) instead of for lump sum amount in advance?
• Yes, stumpage now a variable cost, not a fixed cost

Analytical Tools
• Discounted cash flow– Net present value
• Discount or compound all cash flows to same point in time
• Calculate using an assumed interest rate
– Internal rate of return• Interest rate (i) that makes NPV zero, i.e.
equates PV of all costs and all benefits• “Calculate” the interest rate

Formula for NPV for a given interest rate ( i )
NPV0 =
- C0 - C1/(1+i)1 - C2/(1+i)2 - C3/(1+i)3 - . . . . - C8/(1+i)8 +
R2/(1+i)2 + R8/(1+i)8
Simplify by netting R’s and C’s for given year
-C0 - C1/(1+i)1 +(R2 -C2)/(1+i)2 - C3/(1+i)3 . . . .
- + (R8 - C8)/(1+i)8

• Change “i” in that cell until NPV equals approximately zero
