Answer to Question 1

According to Solow, the capital in the current year is equal to the capital of last year less the depreciated capital plus the level of investment. This implies:
Kcurrent year = Klast year - Kdepreciated + I
or, Kcurrent year = Klast year - (depreciation rate  Klast year) + I
or, Kcurrent year = (1 - depreciation rate)  Klast year + I
