Country A produces GDP according to the following equation: GDP = 5√K or can be read as (5 square root of K), and has a capital stock of 10,000. If the country devotes 25% of its GDP to making investment goods, how much is this country investing? Additionally, if 1% of all capital goods depreciate every year, is the country’s GDP increasing, decreasing or remaining constant?

Assume that a country experiences a permanent increase in its saving rate. Which of the following will occur as a result of this increase in the saving rate?
In a closed economy, saving and investment must be equal, but this is not the case in an open economy. In the following problem, you will explore how saving and investment are connected to the international flow of capital and goods in an economy. Before delving into the relationship between these various components of an economy, you will be asked to recall some relationships between aggregate variables that will be useful in your analysis. Recall the components that make up GDP. National income (Y) equals total expenditure on the economy's output of goods and services. Thus, where C = consumption, I = investment, G = government purchases, X = exports, M = imports, and NX = net exports: Y = Also, national saving is the income of the nation that is left after paying for Therefore, national saving (S) is defined as: Rearranging the previous equation and solving for Y yields Y = . Plugging this into the original equation showing the various components of GDP results in the following…
Assume that the production function for a country is given by Y = √K and annual investment is given by the function I = √ × Y where 0.320, and that the yearly depreciation rate is 5.33%. Suppose that this year, the output in the country is 1, and a neighbor country's output is 50% higher. Calculate the time it would take for the country's output to catch up with its neighbor's output. Assume the neighbor country's economy is neither growing nor shrinking. years
consumption and investment: C = 1,000 + (2/3)*(Y – T) and I = 1,200 – 100*r. Furthermore, Y = 8,000, G = 2500, T = 2,000. Calculate the national saving.
Country A produces GDP according to the following equation: GDP = 5√K. The country has a depreciation rate of 5%. What does this country's savings rate need to be in order to sustain a steady-state GDP of $118? Put your answer into percentage form (e.g. 30.57% not 0.3057) and then round to two decimal places. You do not need to include the % sign.
Exercise 2 Consider a small open economy. Assume that GDP (Y) is 5000. Consumption (C) is given by the equation C = 1000 + 0.25(Y-T). Investment (1) is given by the equation I = 1500 – 50r, where r is the real interest rate in percentage points. The world interest rate is actually 5% (r*-5). Taxes (T) are 1000 and government spending (G) is 1500. Net exports are given by the equation NX=500-250E. 1. Compute the equilibrium real exchange rate. Is the Purchasing Power Parity assumption respected? Suppose that prices in the home currency are ten times smaller than prices in the dominant foreing currency. Which is the nominal exchange rate? 2. Is the government budget in surplus or deficit? For each of the possible policy tools to achieve a balanced budget, compute the equilibrium exchange rate and represent it graphically. Interpret your results. 3. Suppose T and G at their initial values (1000 and 1500). Suppose there is a shift in the global supply of funds, so that the new world…
Country A produces GDP according to the following equation: GDP = 5√K. The country has a savings rate of 12.2% and 8.7% of capital depreciates every year. What is this country's steady state amount of GDP? Round your final answer to two decimal places.

The savings rate for this economy is 18% and the depreciation rate is 5.4%. If this economy is currently at a GDP of 1,458, what is the smallest amount of foreign aid which would move the economy up to a GDP of 11,618? Assume that all foreign aid becomes investment. Round your final answer to two decimal places.
