1. Country A and B both have the production functionY = F (K, L) = K ½L ½or Y = K0.5 L0.5 a) What is the per-worker production function, y= f (k)? 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.
