    In an economically optimum forest rotation analysis, the decision regarding optimum rotation age is undertake by calculating the maximum net present value. It can be shown as follows: NPV and its relationship with rotation age and revenue. Revenue (R) = Volume × Price; Cost (C) = Cost of harvesting + handling. Hence, Profit = Revenue − Cost.
