If the highway will cost $1bn, last indefinitely with regular maintenance and repairs, and yield projected annual net benefits to society of $20m, a long-term real interest rate of 3% would make it nonviable: the interest cost would exceed the benefit.
As Borlaug turned his attention to high-yield projects for Africa, where mass starvation still seemed a plausible threat, some green organizations became determined to stop him there.
My intention was to see my friends and colleagues and reboot myself, preparing the newest year's anticipated yield of projects, looking forward and backward in a mood of self-gathering.
The soybean yield is projected to be 40 bushels an acre, down from an estimate of 43.9 last month.
Similarly, sorghum yield is projected to increase by 5.32%, 9.75% and 15.63% for 2015, 2020 and 2025, respectively.
Quebec's current plan would yield a projected $12.50 per metric ton price on carbon, rising to $13.72 per metric ton by 2020.
Then, the first-year load applications value is multiplied by the stage traffic growth factor, F t), to yield the projected stage load applications value, W t), for a stage period of (t) years.
In 2015, the average yield is projected to be 645 mm km−2 under the regional scenario and 632 mm km−2 under the country scenario.
These country-level results were then used to calculate the area-weighted average deviation of the crop yields in each region from the yield levels projected by the FAO.
Different management styles will employ different strategies and yield different projected returns.
Scientists think Nicaragua could lose the majority of its coffee-growing areas by 2050, and in Tanzania, coffee yields were projected to reach "critically low levels" by 2060.
