Answer #1

Ans

Gdp per capita will clearly fall as per capita capital falls due to depreciation of capital. This can be easily seen in solow model where the depreciation curve will shift leftwards and thus steady state level of per capita gdp falls. Here depreciation rate rises from I1 to i2. With the result per capita income or gdp falls from y2 to y1
