Yearly growth

The planning processes described herein were traditional in nature, with little variation from year to year. Growth was steady, equipment technology advancements were available for the conditions expected, and while utility facilities were capital-intensive, a regulated guaranteed return on investment resulted in adequate financing capital. The utility planner had a vision of the future with acceptable accuracy. 

Worldwide herbicide sales were projected to increase by 11.9% from 1980 to 1985 (17). The projected increase in herbicide sales in the United States from 1980 to 1985 was estimated at 12.4%. It was estimated that by 1985 herbicide sales would represent 61% of all pesticide sales in the United States, whereas herbicides would account for 42% of the pesticide sales worldwide (17). It is projected that pesticide sales by 1990 will reach 6.14 billion, a 7% per year growth from 1978 s 2.72 billion in sales (19). It is also projected that the average cost of pesticides will increase from 3.46/kg in 1978 to 6.88/kg in 1990 because of higher raw-materials costs and a shift to higher-performance materials.

For the 106 companies entering Test 4, we compared their year-by-year growth in both accounts receivable and sales for the six-year time-period and if accounts receivable grew on average 10% or more than sales, we then looked at the size or materiality of 2002 accounts receivable relative to 2002 sales.

The student should also review Chapter 1, Table 1.16, where the top polymer production is given numerically. Overall a 1.8% per year growth was recorded for 1990-2000 in synthetic fibers. A net decrease in the cellulosics of 3.6% per year shows their diminishing importance. Acrylics also decreased 3.9% annually in this period. The rising star is polyolefins, which increased 5.8% per year in the past decade. 

All of our results Indicate that Increased productivity Is associated with reduced budworm success. In the Montana study this was evidenced by the relationship between budworm Infestation Intensity and bole radius. In the Barley Canyon study, the relationship between budworm growth and crown ratio, the 5 year growth Increment, and total nitrogen support this conclusion as well. Assuming that productivity declines with age, the positive correlation between budworm success and age also Implies that a decline In vigor Increases tree susceptibility to budworm. 

Using the 5.5% per year growth for looking into the future, one obtains 4,200,000 tons per year by 1955 and 5,500,000 tons per year by 1960. Both of these figures neglect any effect due to an intervening war or depression. 

The selected wood, whatever its variety, should always he cut when in sap, and never when dead. Wood of five or six years growth is better suited for the manufacture of the charcoal than older Irinds for, generally, the latter contains more mineral matters, and, consequently, less oarbon than the former and the most convenient size is branches from three-quarters to an inch in diameter. ... 

Today there are between 45 and 50 plastic materials. Physical volume, averaging a 13% per year growth rate for the past ten years, reached an estimated 16 billion pounds in 1968, higher than that of any metal except iron and steel, and approaching the total for non-ferrous metals. The number of formulas, grades, and types of these materials is greatly expanded by the use of plasticizers, fillers, and polymerization alternatives. All of these formulations are presumably different from one another and offer the user a broad material selection to fit his property and cost requirements. 

The totals shown indicate that over-all annual demand (Ex. Eastern Bloc) for ethylene will grow by 62 billion pounds by 1980 corresponding to about a 10% per year growth.

Meantime, as a result of the growing world population and the desires of the peoples to better their living standards, the world demand for fluid fuels is rising (Figure 1). It is expected that the world population (which is about 6 billion at the moment and rising at 1.5% per year) growth will slow... 

In passing, I d like to mention a former staff member of Oregon State University who was one of the pioneers in conservation and reforestation. He contributed much to the science of forestry and demonstrated that with the Douglas Fir a 50 year growth cycle was quite adequate.
