I need help with the questions and please prove justification.
![**Question 5:**
In the Solow growth model, defining \( \bar{s} \) as the savings rate, \( Y_t \) as output, and \( C_t \) as consumption, investment, \( I_t \), is given by:
A. \( I_t = (1 - \bar{s}) \)
B. \( I_t = \bar{s}Y_t \)
C. \( I_t = (1 - \bar{s})C_t \)
D. \( I_t = \bar{s}Y_t - C_t \)
E. \( I_t = (1 - \bar{s})Y_t \)
---
**Question 6:**
Consider the Solow growth model where the production function is Cobb-Douglas with \( \bar{A} \) as the total factor productivity and \( \alpha \) as the capital share. The steady-state capital stock per worker is:
A. \( (\bar{s} \bar{A} / \bar{d})^{\frac{\alpha}{1-\alpha}} \)
B. \( (\bar{s} \bar{A} / \bar{d})^{\frac{1}{1+\alpha}} \)
C. \( (\bar{s} \bar{A} / \bar{d})^{\frac{1}{1-\alpha}} \)
D. \( (\bar{s} \bar{A} / \bar{d})^{1-\alpha} \)
E. \( (\bar{s} \bar{A} / \bar{d})^{\alpha} \)

In the textbook Solow growth model, an increase in the savings rate ______ the steady-state capital stock per worker, ______ steady-state output per worker, and ______ steady-state consumption per worker.
