An economy has production function Y = K1/2L1/2, a savings rate of 60 percent. There is no technological progress or labour force growth. The depreciation rate initially 10 percent, increases to 40 percent. There are 400 workers in this economy. When the depreciation rate is 40 percent, output will be equal to dollars.

Consider a country with production function unction ? = 5? 1/2, where y is the output per worker and kis capital per worker. Suppose the investment in capital occurs at a rate of 35% of income perworker every period, the depreciation rate is 1.5% and the population growth rate is 2%. Use excel toplot the production function, investment line and capital depletion line with k on the x-axis (usethe attached spreadsheet to draw your graphs).a. What is the steady state level of y and k.b. Suppose TFP increases by 20%. What happens to the steady state y and k?c. Suppose the investment rate increases to 40%. What happens to the steady state y and k?
