    The total R value is computed from the R-values of the components in the stack as ...

    (inches of wood) * (R-value of wood) + (inches of fiberglass) * (R-value of fiberglass) + (inches of foam) * (R-value of foam)

    = (4 in) (2 / in) + (2 in) (4 / in) + (3 in) (5 / in)

    = 8 + 8 + 15

    = 31

    The total R-value of the wall is 31.
