00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.613
Welcome to Forest Carbon Lab. This walkthrough uses the English interface and an illustrative project.

00:00:06.613 --> 00:00:14.109
First, click Export data to back up your current work. Open User guide and download the practice

00:00:14.109 --> 00:00:21.604
scenario. Then go to Data and costs, select Import saved JSON, and choose the downloaded file. Importing

00:00:21.604 --> 00:00:24.690
replaces your current inputs and saved scenarios.

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:32.358
The practice project covers one thousand hectares, from twenty twenty-seven to twenty sixty-one. Year

00:00:32.358 --> 00:00:38.717
zero is the investment year. An analysis duration of thirty-four creates thirty-five annual rows,

00:00:38.717 --> 00:00:45.529
including year zero. Enter twenty-five thousand Vietnamese dong per US dollar and thirty thousand dong

00:00:45.529 --> 00:00:52.796
per euro. Select the correct currency for each cost item. Exchange rates remain fixed throughout the

00:00:52.796 --> 00:00:53.250
analysis.

00:00:55.000 --> 00:01:02.008
Check the price base year, annual salary growth and reporting US dollar inflation. Detailed personnel

00:01:02.008 --> 00:01:09.484
costs use salary growth. Fees, taxes and forest-use-right fees do not inflate. Other costs use reporting

00:01:09.484 --> 00:01:16.492
US dollar inflation. Vietnamese dong and euro inflation are reference values only. To enter three

00:01:16.492 --> 00:01:20.230
percent, type three, not zero point zero three.

00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:29.594
In Cost inventory, open Core personnel. Enter headcount and annual salary and benefits per person. Here,

00:01:29.594 --> 00:01:37.662
two people each receive six thousand dollars per year before salary growth. Open the MRV contractor item

00:01:37.662 --> 00:01:44.782
to review quantity, unit price and recurrence. Unit labels do not automatically convert months or

00:01:44.782 --> 00:01:51.426
hectares. Enable Exclude end year for contractors, supplies, travel and activities when matching the

00:01:51.426 --> 00:01:52.850
Excel VBA formulas.

00:01:54.000 --> 00:02:00.202
For assets, enter purchase price, quantity, initial purchase year and useful life. Enable replacement if

00:02:00.202 --> 00:02:08.058
assets will be purchased again at the end of their useful life. Leave actual maintenance blank to use the

00:02:08.058 --> 00:02:14.674
percentage method. Entering zero means zero maintenance cost. Fuel quantity is the annual total for the

00:02:14.674 --> 00:02:21.703
entire asset item, not for each asset. Without replacement, maintenance and fuel stop at the end of

00:02:21.703 --> 00:02:22.530
useful life.

00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:30.507
Travel costs include fares, accommodation, per diem and an additional lump sum. Nights equal days minus

00:02:30.507 --> 00:02:38.235
one. Set components already covered by a lump sum to zero to avoid double counting. Land tax is entered

00:02:38.235 --> 00:02:45.149
per hectare per year and multiplied by project area. For a detailed activity, enter costs for one

00:02:45.149 --> 00:02:51.250
occurrence. The tool multiplies component quantities and prices by the number of occurrences per year.

00:02:53.000 --> 00:03:00.423
Open Activity allocation. Categories A through I must total one hundred percent. To compare with VBA,

00:03:00.423 --> 00:03:08.775
allocate one hundred percent across A through H, and set I to zero. Next, enter emission reductions per

00:03:08.775 --> 00:03:15.270
hectare, buffer deduction, leakage and first issuance year. Buffer and leakage are deducted sequentially.

00:03:15.270 --> 00:03:22.230
Earlier credits are not accumulated. Finally, enter the expected selling price and credit selling fee.

00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:30.813
Return to Overview. Total undiscounted cost is approximately two point three nine million US dollars. At

00:03:30.813 --> 00:03:38.478
a selling price of fifteen dollars per credit, net present value is negative, so the assessment is red.

00:03:38.478 --> 00:03:44.865
The break-even price is about twenty-two dollars and fifty-six cents. The target price is about

00:03:44.865 --> 00:03:51.253
twenty-five dollars and ninety-five cents. Amber means break-even but below target, or that costs have

00:03:51.253 --> 00:03:52.530
not been entered.

00:03:54.000 --> 00:04:00.801
Save the original scenario before making changes. In Market references, review the transaction source and

00:04:00.801 --> 00:04:08.508
date. Historical prices are not offers for your project. Return to Overview and click Apply target price.

00:04:08.508 --> 00:04:15.309
The assessment turns green under the current assumptions. You can also revise individual cost items.

00:04:15.309 --> 00:04:22.110
Green indicates financial performance only. It does not certify credit eligibility or guarantee a buyer.

00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:30.521
Open Scenarios and sensitivity to compare your plans. The sensitivity table varies prices and costs by

00:04:30.521 --> 00:04:37.450
twenty percent while holding other assumptions constant. Export JSON to back up your work and import it

00:04:37.450 --> 00:04:45.194
later. Export cash flow or detailed cost CSV files to review the results. Data stays in this browser on

00:04:45.194 --> 00:04:51.307
this device; it does not automatically sync. The written guide and practice scenario remain available

00:04:51.307 --> 00:04:52.530
below this video.
