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.
