5. Bummer. Maybe its not the initial stock of resources available to society that matters to the existence of a limit to growth. Lets instead examine a change in the percentage growth rate of population. Going back to the parameter values in question 1 above (so r =2, minimum per capita consumption is 50, population is 5,000,000 and the initial stock of resources has its original value of $150,000,000.00), lets cut that assumed growth rate from 20% to 10%.
a. does a limit to growth still exist? if so, between what two years is it reached?
b. between what years would society reach a limit to growth if the population growth rate was lowered to 5% instead of 10%, keeping all the other parameters above unchanged
c. will society reach a limit to growth in a finite number of years for any population growth rate greater than 0%?
