Question: 2 . ( 3 points ) Consider an economy described by the following production function: Y = F ( K , L ) = K

2.(3 points) Consider an economy described by the following production function:
Y = F(K,L)= K1/4 L3/4.
(a) Calculate the per-worker production function.
(b) Assuming no population growth or technological progress, find the steady
state level of capital per worker, output per worker, consumption per worker as a function
of the savings and depreciation rates.
(c) What savings rate maximizes steady state consumption? [Hint: Use the Golden
Rule Condition to solve for the Golden Rule Capital Stock and then the steady state
condition to solve for the Golden Rule Savings Rate]
