A population of a certain rodent species follows the discrete logistic growth model \(N_{t+1}=N_t+rN_t\left(1-\frac{N_t}{K}\right)\). The intrinsic rate of increase is \(r=0.5\) per generation, the initial population size is \(N_0=200\) individuals and the original carrying capacity is \(K=1000\). After a habitat disturbance the carrying capacity is reduced by 20\%. Using the new carrying capacity, calculate the expected population size after five generations.
