Suppose the economy's production function is Y=AK0.3N0.7. If K = 2000, N = 100. Calculate the output level of the economy.
In 2013, Adanac produced 20 kilos of apples and 30 kilos of bananas. Both fruits were used exclusively for final consumption and nothing else was produced. In 2013, a kilo of apples sold for $7 while a kilo of bananas sold for $10. In 2014, Adanac produced only 10 kilos of apples but produced 45 kilos of bananas. In 2014, prices were $8 per kilo of apples and $8 per kilo of bananas. Using 2013 prices, economists estimate that potential GDP is $700 in 2014 The output gap in 2014 is OA. $180. OB. $360. O C. -$360. OD. -$180. Et
Consider an economy in which the aggregate production function is given by the equation: Y = 3.6 K0.5 N0.5 where (Y) is aggregate production, (A) measures productivity, (K) is the stock of physical capital and (N) is the amount of labor, measured in millions of workers. Both Y and K are measured in billions of reais. K is given and is 10,000 (i.e., 10,000 billion reais), so K0.5 = 100. The aggregate labor supply is given by the following equation: NS = [(1-t).w]2 where (t) is the income tax rate on labor and (w) is the real wage, measured in reais per hour. t = 0.20 (20%). The equilibrium levels of the real wage (w) and employment (N) are, respectively, [ANSWER] and [ANSWER]. The full employment production level (Y) is [ANSWER]. Finally, the after-tax real wage that workers receive per hour in this economy i
