Refer to Problem 1 for data and assume now that the population growth rate increases to 5%. Calculate the new steady-state values of the capital-labor ratio and output. Explain your answer graphically, and compare the new values of the capital-labor ratio and output per worker to those obtained in Problem 1.

Data from Problem 1

Use the following table to find the steady-state values of the capital-labor ratio and output per worker (i.e., complete the table) if the per worker production function is yt = 2k_t^0.3:
