The value of a tract of timber is V(t) = 100,000e 0.8t where t is the time

Question:

The value of a tract of timber is V(t) = 100,000e0.8√t where t is the time in years, with t = 0 corresponding to 2010. If money earns interest continuously at 10%, then the present value of the timber at any time t is A(t) = V(t)e-0.10t.


Find the year in which the timber should be harvested to maximize the present value function.
