Question:
If the marginal product of capital net depreciation equals 8 percent, the rate of growth of population equals 2 percent, and the rate of labor-augmenting technical progress equals 2 percent, to reach the Golden Rule level of the capital stock, the ____ rate in this economy must be _____.
A) saving; increased
B) population growth; decreased
C) depreciation; decreased
D) total output growth; decreased
Answer
The correct answer is A) <u>Saving</u> rate of the economy must be i<u>ncreased</u> in order for the economy to reach the Golden Rule Level of the Capital Stock.
Explanation
Golden Rule Level of the Capital Stock is the level at which
MPK = δ,
Where MPK is Marginal Product; and δ the depreciation rate;
so that the marginal product of capital equals the depreciation rate.
In the Solow growth model, a <em>high saving rate results in a large steady-state capital stock and a high level of steady-state output.</em> A low saving rate results to a small steady state capital stock and a low level of steady-state output. Higher saving leads to faster economic growth only in the short run. An increase in the saving rate raises growth until the economy reaches the new steady state. That is, if the economy retains a high saving rate, it will also maintain a large capital stock and a high level of output, but it will not maintain a high rate of growth forever .

Putting such costing price gives the owner the capital gains as well as earning back the expenses that he has shelled out in order to purchase the machine to be sold in the market. <span>

Answer:
B) all factors affecting demand, except income
Explanation:
Ceteris paribus can be used to identify the relationship between two specific variables, while leaving all other factors constant. In this case, since Jeremy is studying the effects of income on the demand (of anything really, not only Greek ceramics), it should affect all factors affecting demand except income. Jeremy is going to analyze how the quantity demanded changes when the income changes, all other things constant.
