For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] An Empirical Analysis of the Black Market Exchange Rate in Iran Abstract The Iranian rial has been depreciated on average about 13 per cent per annum against the U.S dollar during the last four decades. This paper examines the long- and short-run determinants of the black market exchange rate employing the cointegration techniques and the annual time series data from 1960 to 2002. Consistent with previous studies and the monetary approach to the exchange-rate determination, it is found that the black market exchange rate is cointegrated with the relative consumer price indices in Iran and the U.S., real GDP and the relative import prices. However, in the short run only the rising relative prices and a meagre real GDP growth have been responsible for the depreciation of Iranian currency.

Calculating Board Feet Board Feet Linear Feet Z "Board Feet" Is a Measurement of Lumber Square Feet Volume
Calculating Board Feet board Feet linear feet z "Board Feet" is a measurement of lumber square feet volume. z A board foot is equal to 144 cubic inches of wood. TED 126 Spring 2007 z Actually it's easy to calculate using the following formula: Bd. Ft. = T (inches) x W (inches) x L (feet) / 12 2 Board Feet Board Feet z When you are figuring up board feet, keep in mind a waste factor. Bd. Ft. = T (inches) x W (inches) x L (feet) / 12 z If you purchase good clear material add about 15% for waste, Bd. Ft. = T (inches) x W (inches) x L (inches) / 144 z if you elect to use lower grade material you will have to allow for defects and more wasted material ---add about 30%. 3 4 Board Feet and Linear feet Board Feet and Linear feet z A linear foot is a measure of length 12 inches z To convert linear feet to board feet: long and a Thickness” x Width” x Length’ ÷ 12 z board foot is a number calculated by determining the volume of a board that is 12 z To convert board feet to linear feet: inches wide and 1 inch thick. • In other words, a 1" x 6" board that measures 24" 12 ÷ Thickness” x Width” x Board Foot long is exactly one board foot. (width" x thickness" x length' / 12) 5 6 1 Linear feet and Square Feet The math…. z It is not possible to convert linear footage into z A Linear Feet is just a measurement of square footage because a linear foot is only one length and does not take into account its dimension and a square foot is two dimensions, width or thickness. -
Feasibility Analysis of a Small Log Sawmill in Southeast Alaska
1 Feasibility analysis of a small log sawmill in Southeast Alaska Executive Summary Unlike most Southern Yellow Pine sawmills, a small log mill in Southeast Alaska that manufactured lumber from 60-year old trees, would not be profitable. There are many additional operating costs in the remote forests of Southeast Alaska that the Southern Yellow Pine sawmills do not incur. The two most costly disadvantages are; 1. An additional $SO per thousand board feet of lumber that is required to transport lumber from Southeast Alaska to the Pacific Northwest and, 2. The lack ofany reasonable economy of scale. The small timber sale volume projected to be available to the manufacturing industry in Southeast Alaska is inadequate to support more than a single mid-size sawmill. Consequently the regions sawmills will not produce any income from the residual products - chips, sawdust and bark. The chips are currently barged to pulp mills in the Pacific Northwest and Canada, while the Yellow Pine sawmills can deliver chips to nearby pulp mills at a much lower cost than the Alaska sawmills. Similarly, there are no fiberboard plants to utilize the sawdust from Southeast Alaska sawmills and there is no market for the bark in Southeast Alaska. Instead, most ofthe sawdust and bark must be disposed of in landfills. Introduction The purpose of this analysis is to compare several financial estimates of the feasibility of manufacturing lumber from immature young growth timber in Southeast Alaska. Four sawmill proformas are 1 examined : 1. A summary of five actual Southern Yellow Pine sawmills. This proforma was used because much of the rhetoric surrounding the Secretary of Agriculture unilateral decision to transition to 60+ year old Alaska young growth was based on assertions that Yellow Pine sawmills harvest their 2 timber before age 60 • Other than the obvious difference in tree species, the yellow pine region has much different logistic issues than Southeast Alaska. -
