10. The Reverend Thomas Malthus (a British economist) thought that arithmetic growth in food supply (such as a farmer adding five more bushels of apples to his harvest every year) exhibited: A. positive exponential growth (logarithmic increase) over time B. logistic growth (linear increase, then exponential, then linear again) over time C. saturation growth (Michaelis-Menten increases) over time D. negative exponential growth (logarithmic decrease) over time E. linear growth (straight line increase) over time

1.1. Basic properties of growth rates. Use the fact that the growth rate of a variable equals the time derivative of its log to show: (a) The growth rate of the product of two variables equals the sum of their growth rates. That is, if Z(t) = X(t)Y(t), then Ż(t)/Z(t) = [X(t)/X(t)] + [Ÿ(t)/Y(t)]. (b) The growth rate of the ratio of two variables equals the difference of their growth rates. That is, if Z(t) = X(t)/Y(t), then Ż(t)/Z(t) = [X(t)/X(t)]-[Y(t)/Y(t)]. (c) If Z(t) = aX(t)a, then Ż(t)/Z(t) = aX(t)/X(t).

1) Let the growth rate of X, be defined as the log difference a (X4) = log X – log X-1. For variables X, and Y, show that the growth rate of the quotient equals the difference of the growth rates, g g(Xt) – g (Y:).
The GDP of South Africa in 1950 was 77,836.88 million dollars. In 2019 it was 748,861 million dollars. What has been the annualized growth rate of GDP for South Africa during the period 1950 to 2019? Use growth compounding to calculate the number and write the answer in percent terms with up to two decimals (e.g., 10.22 for 10.22%, or 2.33 for 2.33%).
How large will Canada’s GDP be in 25 years? The answer depends on what the rate of growth in GDP will be over that 25-year period. A mathematical formula we can use for this calculation is the following: GDP2041 = GDP2016 (1 + g)25 where GDP2041 is the level of GDP in the year 2041, GDP2016 is the level of GDP in the year 2016, and g is the rate of growth in GDP. Assume that GDP in 2016 is $1000 million and assume that the value of g is 0.035 (3.5 percent per year). What will be the value of GDP in 2041? Now suppose that the value of g is 0.040 (4.0 percent per year). What will be the value of GDP in 2041 given this slightly larger rate of growth? What does this result say about the importance of policies that promote even slightly faster rates of growth in GDP?
Exponential growth implies that: Relatively small differences in growth rates translate into substantial differences in the level of a quantity after many years of growth. Growth rates can only be positive. Growth rates will alternate between positive and negative values in every consecutive period. Relatively large differences in growth rates will translate into small differences in the level of a quantity after many years of growth
