Economics, physical capital represents the uildings or machines used by a business to produce product. The marginal product of physical capital presents the rate of change of output product with spect to physical capital (informally, if you increase e size of your factory a little, how much more Foduct can you create?). articular model tells us that the output product Y is given, a function of capital K, by Y = AKªL'-a ere A is a constant, L is units of labor (assumed to be stant), and a is a constant between 0 and 1. Determine marginal product of physical capital predicted by this del. ned with CamScanner
In Wonderland production per worker (y) depends on capital per worker() such the y=10vk. Every year 15% of the capital stock depreciates, while workers in Wonderland save 10% of their income. Every year the population grows ratas te of 3% (c) The country of Neverland is identical to Wonderland in terms of output per worker, the savings rate, the depreciation rate and population growth. They differ in one respect: Wonderland has capital per worker of 10, whereas Neverland has capital per worker of 20. Which country experiences a higher growth rate of output per worker and how will their growth rates evolve over time?
