Consider the production function: Y = A. K0.8 N0.2 with A = 5, K = 400, N = 3000 (a) What is the level of output produced in this economy? (b) What is the Marginal Product of Labour? (c) What is the Marginal Product of Capital? (d) A unit of output sells for $100? The nominal interest rate is 5%, the expected inflation rate is 3%, the depreciation rate is 13%, and the population growth rate is 2%. If a unit of capital costs $5,000, is the capital market in equilibrium. If not, is there too much or too little capital?
