Question

Could you show me the solution for question part b)

Assume the universe consists of only two realms, Asgard and Midgard, and their
economies are described by the Solow growth model. They have the same Cobb-
Douglas production function, F(K, L) = A K L¹-0 but with different quantities of
capital and labour. Asgard saves 32 percent of its income, while Midgard saves 10
percent. Asgard has population growth of one percent per year, while Midgard has
population growth of three percent. Both realms have technological progress at a
rate of 2 percent per year and depreciation at a rate of 5 percent per year.
b) Solve for the ratio of Asgard's steady-state income per worker to Midgard.
(Hint: Pay attention to parameter 0 which helps you)
