Question
As an analyst at Decimating Capital, you are asked to estimate the future revenue of the Slate Rock and Gravel Company which is currently $10 million. Based on comparable companies, you predict their revenue will grow at the rate of R(t) = 0.825/t^0.04 million dollars per year where t is the number of years from today. What will be their approximate revenue in 5 years?

The growth rate is 0.2 and the carrying capacity is 8000 ptarmigans. The authorities in the area have announced that it is possible to start hunting in the area when the size of the population has reached 5000 ptarmigans. Assume that time is measured in years. After how many years can a ptarmigan be allowed to hunt in the area if we assume that the population size is in accordance with the logistic equation? )?arrow_forward

Adjust the model to account for each of the following situations. * One hundred fish are harvested each year.* One-third of the fish population is harvested annually.* The number of fish harvested each year is proportional to the square root of thenumber of fish in the lake. I was hoping to compare my answer to yours because I am a little confused if I did it right. Thank you for your time and effort.arrow_forward
- 2. How long will it take you to get ten times your money at 2% interest compounded continuously.arrow_forwardAn investor is presented with a choice of two investments: an established clothing store and a new bookstore. Each choice requires the same initial investment and each produces a continuous income stream of 3%, compounded continuously. The rate of flow of income from the clothing store is f(t)=12,000, and the rate of flow of income from the book store is expected to be g(t)=10,000e^0.05t. Compare the future values of these investments to determine which is the better choice over the next 2 years.arrow_forwardWhen you moved into your dorm room, there were initially 40 termites.
