The equation of Verhulst-Pearl logisitic growth model is
\(\dfrac {dN}{dt}=rN \left[\dfrac {K-N}{K}\right ]\)
From this equation, K indicates:
1. Biotic potential 
2. Carrying capacity
3. Population density
4. Intrinsic rate of natural increase

A population with finite resources shows a logistic growth curve where the correct sequence of events will be: 

1. Stationary phase → Acceleration phase  → Lag phase  → Asymptote 
2. Acceleration phase  → Deceleration  → Asymptote 
3. Acceleration phase  → Leg phase  → Stationary phase 
4. Lag phase  → Acceleration phase  → Deceleration  → Asymptote
