Suppose Nation B has 8,623 labor hours each year to produce burgers and fries. Burgers take 13 hours to produce each, and fries take 7 hours to produce each. Suppose Nation B also sees a sudden surge in working-age immigrants, leading to 26% higher labor hours each year. What is the maximum number of fries is Nation B able to produce in a year after this surge of immigration? Round your answer to one place after the decimal point (0.1).

In the Solow model, suppose the per worker production function is y = 6 kº.5. Suppose s = 0.08, n = 0.04, and d = 0.08. Calculate the steady-state equilibrium capital-labor ratio. k= (Round to two decimal places.)
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
Consider the outcome of an economy in the long-run with N = 10000 potential workers who may be employed or unemployed. Suppose that the aggregate production function is where Y is real GDP, L is the number of employed people and A aggregate productivity. Assume that K = 1, the initial productivity level is A = 1 Y = AK L = AL", Further suppose that the job separation rate is s= 0.04 and the job finding rate is f = 0.75. Recall the firm's marginal product of labour (MPL) is given by A MPL = x L¹-a where & is the share of labour in the economy and equal to 0.66. On the demand-side, suppose that the consumption and investment functions are, respectively, C=C+ c(YT) = 40 +0.55(Y – T) I = Ī + i(r) = 180 - 1200r. where r is the real interest rate.
