Suppose that a gift of capital from abroad raises the capital stock by 10 percent. What happens to total output (in percentage change)? The real rental price of capital (in percentage change)? The real wage (in percentage change)? Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.arrow_forwardAssume the production function takes the general form (as in lecture notes) Y = z xF(K,L, A) Z X where all marginal products are positive. Which 3 of the following statements are correct? Select one or more: O a. If A is fixed, then population growth acts as a drag on growth of output per person. b. If A is fixed, then population growth acts as a drag on growth, and so Malthus was correct that population growth will always reverse the impact of technological improvements. Both rises in z and rises in K/L (capital intensity) will boost output per worker. O d. Growth in output per worker can occur due to rises in z (technology) or rises in K/L (capital intensity), or both.arrow_forwardConsider the production function Y=z.K^1/3,N^1/3,L^1/3 where Y is output, z is a parameter capturing technology, K is capital, N is labour and L is the area of land.

Find aQ/ƏK when capital expenditures are $1,331,000 and the labor hours total 2197. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) aq/ək = units per thousand dollars Interpret aQ/ƏK. If labor hours remain at 2197 and K increases by $1000, Q will increase about units. Find aQ/aL when capital expenditures are $1,331,000 and the labor hours total 2197.
