1) An economy has the following aggregate production function: Y= Ak^1/3L^2/3 and capital stock, labour supply and total factor productivity of 512, 1000, and 5 respectively.
a) What is the effect of a 50% change in the capital stock on the marginal product of labour and the marginal product of capital?
b) What is the effect of this change in the capital stock on Output and Consumption, if taxes are 800 and the Marginal Propensity to Consume is 2/3?
I am struggling with these questions. Could someone please help me with these questions thanks ahead

Consider an economy that is characterized by the Solow Model. The (aggregate) production function is given by: Y = 6K1/3L2/3 In this economy, workers consume 80% of income and save the rest. The labour force is growing at 2% per year while the annual rate of capital depreciation is 5.5%. a) Solve for the steady state capital-labour ratio and consumption per worker. The economy is in its steady state as described in part (a). Suppose both the stock of capital...

1. An economy has the production function y = 20k1/2. The current capital stock is 256 and the depreciation rate is 8 percent, and the population growth rate is 2 percent. For income per person to grow, the saving rate must exceed Question 1 options: 6 percent 8 percent 10 percent 12 percent Question 2 (1 point) 2.
