This document proposes a method for calculating compensation for the removal of a healthy tree based on the net present value of the tree's future leaf area over its remaining lifespan. The value is determined by the tree's size, growth rate, expected lifespan based on mortality curves, and discount rate. Tables can be used to look up the number of replacement trees owed based on the removed tree's diameter at breast height. The compensation provided would be either planting an equivalent number of replacement trees or a cash amount based on typical tree planting costs.

Instructions:
Please answer the following question in a minimum of 500 words. Be sure to include 2 citations.
Question:
On August 31, 2010, Chickasaw Industries issued $25 million of its 30-year, 6% convertible bonds dated August 31, priced to yield 5%. The bonds are convertible at the option of the investors into 1,500,000 shares of Chickasaw's common stock. Chickasaw records interest expense at the effective rate. On August 31, 2013, investors in Chickasaw's convertible bonds tendered 20% of the bonds for conversion into common stock that had a market value of $20 per share on the date of the conversion. On January 1, 2012, Chickasaw Industries issued $40 million of its 20-year, 7% bonds dated January 1 at a price to yield 8%. On December 31, 2013, the bonds were extinguished early through acquisition in the open market by Chickasaw for $40.5 million.
Required:
1.
Using the book value method, would recording the conversion of the 6% convertible bonds into common stock affect earnings? If so, by how much? Would earnings be affected if the market value method is used? If so, by how much?
2.
Were the 7% bonds issued at face value, at a discount, or at a premium? Explain.
3.
Would the amount of interest expense for the 7% bonds be higher in the first year or second year of the term to maturity? Explain.
4.
How should gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt be determined? Does the early extinguishment of the 7% bonds result in a gain or loss? Explain.

Introduction
Think for a moment. How tall is the gingko tree next to Butte Hall? What about its diameter? You probably look at this tree almost every day, but have you ever looked up and seen how tall this tree is? Trees provide shelter for many species as well as protection to humans. If strategically planted, trees provide summertime shade and wintertime sunshine to reduce the energy cost of your home. You can select which species of tree you would like to plant in order to maximize the shade during the summertime.
We are seriously concerned about carbon emissions from various anthropogenic sources. Trees sequester carbon from the atmosphere via photosynthesis. Sequestered carbon will not be released back into the atmosphere until trees are decomposed or burned. A tree’s biomass shows how much carbon has been sequestered, and the height and diameter of a tree are good indicators of the biomass. In this lab, you will determine the height and measure the diameter of three trees on campus. You will also learn that different ecoregions are associated with different amounts of biomass.
Section 1 – Campus Trees Analysis
Make sure to read the following website before coming to the lab 10.
Forest Canopy Heights Across the United States
http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=44717
In this section, you will estimate tree heights and measure DBH (diameter at breast height) values. In order to estimate the height of a tree, you will use a clinometer and a tape measure.
Figure 1: Data required to estimate the height of an object
In order to estimate the height of a tree, you need to measure three values (Figure 1):
E: an observer’s eye height from the ground (in meters);
D: a distance from a tree to the observer (in meters); and
α: the angle of the top of the tree from the observer’s eye height (in degrees).
You will use a tape measure (in meters) for the values of E and D, while you use a clinometer (in degrees) for the value of α.
Additionally, you will use a DBH tape to measure the diameter of a tree at breast height.
“Diameter at breast height, or DBH, is the standard for measuring trees. DBH refers to the tree diameter measured at 4.5 feet above the ground.” See the illustration below (Figure 2) for details.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

9. Fallacy of Tree Value
There is no NASDAQ for trees
We do not know the true value of trees
We may never know the true value of trees
10. Proposed Solution
Compensate on equal trees, not $
Calculate number small trees = removed tree
Size based methods:
Method No. 1” trees to replace 30” tree
DBH 30
Basal area 900
Leaf area ~70
12. Issue
Need to consider future values (lost or gained)
Net present value (NPV) of future leaves
NPV of 1” DBH large, long-lived tree = 34,000 ft2
Replace a 24” DBH large tree:
Years Remaining NPV leaves (3% rate) No. replacement trees
1 6,000 ft2 0.2
50 187,000 ft2 5.6
18. Calculating Tree Compensation
Tree size (large vs. small)
Life span (1-4% annual mortality rate)
Growth rate (0.2 inches/year)
Discount rate (2, 3, and 4%)
23. Limitations
Likely minimum compensation
Does not include:
Social values (Grandpa planted tree; historical tree)
Punitive damages
Effect of multiple surrounding trees (forests)
Value of dead trees
24. Compensation
Determine number of trees based on size and
life span remaining (look-up tables or program)
Replant the trees, or
Compensation in dollars based on cost of
planting trees (not value of tree)
Example: owed 10 trees; cost of planting = $1,000
per tree (compensation = $10,000)
