So.....I assume you want to know the current price???

 

If so  ....after the first two years, the price was  34 (.98)^2  ≈  32.65  per m^3

[ each successive year the price was 98% = .98  of the year before]

 

And in the next five years   it increased  to  its current price of    32.65 (1.06)^5  ≈  43.69 per m^3

[each successive  year after the second one,  the price rose by 6%   = 1 + .06 =    1.06 ]

 

 

Thanks to the guest for spotting my earlier error....I'm not with it today....LOL!!!!!

CPhill: A slight error of transposition from $32.56 to $32.65.
