Suppose the two nations start out in 2016 with identical levels of output per worker hour say, $100 per hour. In the first nation, labor productivity growth by 1% per year. In the second girls by 2% per year. Use a calculator or a spreadsheet to determine how much output per hour each nation will be producing 20 years later, assuming the labor productivity growth rates do not change. Then, determine how much each will be producing per hour 100 years later. What do your results tell you about the effects of small differences in productivity growth rates?
For a village, the population P grows at a rate of 1.6 % per year. The formula P = 3650 (1 + r)
models the village's population t years after 2018, wherer is the rate of population growth. What
will the population be in the year 2022?
Over the last 5 years, the population level of a certain area has gone from 200,000 to 250,000, and seems to follow a double exponential pattern. The physical characteristics of the area limit the total population it can accommodate to 400,000.
Given this situation, if the same pattern of growth continues, what will be the population level in 5 years?
