APPENDIX 2: FOREST HARVESTING COST MODEL

The following figures show the spreadsheets containing the data used in the calculation of delivered roundwood cost for a “typical” forest harvesting operation. These follow standard production cost methodologies as set out in FAO (1977) and the “Caterpillar Handbook” (Caterpillar, 1996). Further details about how the model works can be found in Whiteman (1999a).

APPENDIX 3: FOREST INDUSTRY MODEL

The following figures and tables show the spreadsheets containing the data used in the calculation of profitability and economic rent for an “average” sawmill. This follows the discounted cash-flow approach, which is a standard accounting and investment appraisal methodology used in industry worldwide. The cash-flows produced by the model are given in the tables at the end of this appendix. Further details about how the model works can be found in Scotland and Whiteman (1997).
