Consider that a species of salmon lays 20,000 eggs per pair when it spawns and dies. at the end of five years, an average of one pair of mature salmon from this group of hatched eggs returns again to spawn in the parent stream (19,998 have not survived). what is the growth rate of this population? 10,000, because there were that many eggs produced per parent fish (r) 2,000, because this must be divided by five years zero, because there is exact replacement of the previous generation 2,000, because there was this much average die-off per year 19,998, because there was this much total loss

The business cycle is the periodic but irregular up-and-down movement in economic activity, measured by fluctuations in real gross domestic product (gdp) and other macroeconomic variables. a business cycle is typically characterized by four phases—recession, recovery, growth, and decline—that repeat themselves over time. economists note, however, that complete business cycles vary in length. the duration of business cycles can be anywhere from about two to twelve years, with most cycles averaging six years in length. some business analysts use the business cycle model and terminology to study and explain fluctuations in business inventory and other individual elements of corporate operations. but the term "business cycle" is still primarily associated with larger (industry-wide, regional, national, or even international) business trends.
