Economics,

How do i find the time t for maximum present value of profitt

 

growth function given;  w(t) = 4.8t^2 - 1.52t^3

w'(t) = 9.6t - 4.56t^2

Price function; p(w) 30 + 0.45 w(t)

w' = 0.45

Number of fish; R = 1

mortality rate for the fish m = 0.1

r = 0.05 per year / 0.0042 a month

Feed costs: Cf = 11 per kg, feed factor f t = 1.1

useage of food per fish F(t) = ft * w'

 

And given the time t what is then optimal harvesting point without rotation (only one harvest).

 

Just dont know how to proceed.

Optimizing porblem i have been using ; 

(but i dont know if this is for rotation or not)

 


\(Max π(t)=V(t){e}^{-rt} - \int_{0}^{t}C{}_{f}F(u)R{e}^{-(M+r)u}du{}_{}\)

 

\(π'(t)=V'(t){e}^{-rt} - rV(t){e}^{-rt}-C{}_{f}F{}_{t}w'(t)Re{}^{-(M+r)t}=0\)

 

with V(t) = p(w) * B(t)

And B(t) = Re^-mt * w(t)

 

Apparently can be rewritten as

 

\(\frac{p'(w)}{p(w)}*w'(t*)+\frac{w'(t*)}{w(t*)}=r+m+\frac{{C}_{f}F(t*)}{p(w)w(t*)}\)

 

^but I have not been able to get anything useful from it.
