Assume that "B"=2 We have a standard Cobb-Douglas production function Y=F(K,L)=20K0510.5, where K is capital, L is labor. a) Write this Cobb-Douglas production function in per-worker terms (y) (by using constant returns to scale feature of production function). b) Using this production function in per-worker terms (found in part (a)) and the equation of change in capital (Ak) of Solow model (take the investment ratio (y-gamma) and depreciation ratio (6-delta) as B/10 and B/5, respectively), calculate and show graphically the steady-state capital stock (ks) and steady state output level (yss).
