1. Suppose that the production function for an economy is given by
Y = F(K,L) = AK1/2L1/2
Where Y is output, A is the level of technology, K is capital and L is labor.
a. If the value of L is 400, the value of K is 625, and the value of A is 2, what is the value of output in this economy? Show your work.
b. Given the values in part (a), calculate capital productivity. Show your work. Be sure to show the relevant units of measurement in your answer.
c. If labor and technology are held constant, but capital is increased to 900 units, what happens to capital productivity? Verbally describe the effect of this change on capital productivity.
d. In the space below sketch a picture that shows the aggregate production function drawn with respect to labor. In your drawing indicate both the initial situation where capital equals 625 and the new situation where capital equals 900. Label your graph carefully and completely.
