Consider an Island Whose Population Is Limited by Law to No

question 13

Short Answer

Consider an island whose population is limited by law to no more than 1000 people. Assume that the initial population is 500 people with r = 0.005 per day. Then there is immigration at one time of precisely 600 people. Calculate the instantaneous growth rate (obviously it must be negative to get the population below its limit) for the population after immigration. Hint: utilize Equation B.14.
