  B) exports and imports can only assume positive values, but net exports can be positive or negative
  C) changes in the supply of money will be necessary if government spending is increased

Question 2

Consumption per worker is 72, depreciation is 12.5, and capital per worker is 64. Given the production function y = 20 , show that this economy is in a steady state.

Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The steady-state capital-labor ratio k = . Plugging the values above into this equation yields s = 0.1. Putting the given value of k into the production function yields y = 80, so the given value of consumption per worker implies s = 0.1. This is a steady state. (As further confirmation, note that 64  0.125 = 8 = saving, so the loss of capital due to depreciation is exactly restored by investment.) If s = 0.2, then k = 181, so y = 113, and consumption per worker is 113  0.8 = 90.
