= Question 4 (5pt): The Orchard Problem. Below is the graph y f(t) of the annual harvest (assumed continuous) in kg/year from my cranapple orchard t years after planting. The trees take about 25 years to get established, and from that point on, for the next 25 years, they give a fairly good yield. But after 50 years, age and disease are taking their toll, and the annual yield is falling off. 40 35 30 。 ៣៩ ថា8 8 8 8 6 25 20 15 10 y 5 0 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 The orchard problem is this: when should the orchard be cut down and re- planted, thus starting the cycle again? What you want to do is to maximize your average harvest per year over a full cycle. Of course there are costs to cutting the orchard down and replanting, but it turns out that we can ignore these. The first cost is the time it takes to cut the trees down and replant but we assume that this can effectively be done in a week, and the loss of time is negligible. Secondly there is the cost of the labour to cut…
