1. b
(The formula used is
K/F(K) = Saving rate/depreciation rate = investment
rate/depreciation rate = 40%/4% = 0.4/0.04 = 10
So, K/K1/2 = 10
So, K1-(1/2) = K1/2 = 10
So, K = 102 = 100)

(Longer maturity means longer period for default and greater
compensation is required for being without money for a longer
