Suppose we have a whale population that has been declines to 1000 individuals. The growth rate is 2% a year and the carrying capacity is 10,000. Calculate (use Excel) how many years are needed to have the population recover to 5,000 or more, meaning that during those years, no harvesting can take place. Once the population is recovered, how many whales can be harvested per year in a sustainable way? Can you show me how to put the formula in excel?
