1. (This is problem 3, page 238 of the textbook.) For a particular economy, the following capital input K and labor input N were reported in four different years: Year 1 234 4 K 200 250 250 300 N 1000 1000 1250 1200 The production function in this economy is Y=K0.3 Nº.7, where Y is total output. a. Find total output, the capital-labor ratio, and output per worker in each year. Compare year 1 with year 3 and year 2 with year 4. Can this production function be written in per-worker form? If so, write algebraically the per- worker form of the production function. b. Repeat Part (a) but assume now that the production function is Y = Kº.3 Nº.8
Please no written by hand and graph Consider a small world that consists of two different countries, a developed and a developing country. In both countries, assume that the production function takes the following form: Y = F (K, LE) = K¹/4 (LE) 3/4, where Y is output, K is capital stock, L is total employment and E is labour augmenting technology. (a) Does this production function exhibit constant returns to scale in K and L? Explain. (b) Express the above production function in its intensive form (i.e., output per-effective worker y as a function of capital per effective worker k). (c) Solve for the steady-state value of y as a function of saving rate s, population growth rate n, technological progress g, and capital depreciation rate 6. (d) The developed country has a savings rate of 30% and a population growth rate of 2% per year. Meanwhile, the developing country has a savings rate of 15% and population growth rate of 5% a year. Technology evolves at the rate of 8% and 2% in…

Please make sure to write specificfunctional form of the per-worker production function. b) Assume that neither country experiences population growth nor technological progressand that 4 percent of capital depreciates each year. Assume further that country A saves 24percent of output each year and country B saves 16 percent of output each year. Using youranswer from part a) and the steady-state condition, find the steady-state level of capital perworker for each country. Then find the steady-state levels of income per worker for eachcountry and steady-state level of consumption per worker for each country.

What is the per-worker production function, y = f(k)? Hint, do not overthink this one, just use algebraic manipulation. c. Assume that neither country experiences population growth nor technological progress and that 5 percent of capital depreciates each year. Assume further that country A saves 10 percent of output each year and country B saves 20 percent of output each year. Using your answer from part (b) and the steady-state condition that investment equals depreciation, find the steady-state level of capital per worker for each country. Then find the steady-state levels of income per worker and consumption per worker.
Case C: Galaxy Multinational. Galaxy, a multinational corporation, has two plants, one in the United States and the other in Mexico, and it cannot change the size of the plants or the amount of capital equipment in the short run. The wage in Mexico is equivalent to US $5 per hour. The wage in the U.S. is $25 per hour. Given current employment situation, the productivity per worker in Mexico is 200 units per hour, and the productivity per worker in the U.S. is 400 units per hour. Is Galaxy maximizing output relative to its labor cost? If not, what should Galaxy do? Justify your answer.
Suppose the production function is Y = AK0.3N0.7. Suppose in 2010, K = 1000, N = 100, and Y = 199.5. In 2020, capital, labor, and output have doubled, so K = 2000, N = 200, and Y = 399. (a.) By what percentage did productivity grow from 2010 to 2020? (b.) If output had risen to 798 instead of 399, and capital and labor doubled, by what percentage would productivity have grown from 2010 to 2020?
