Suppose Firm A has the production function qA = L^(2/3)K^(1/3), while Firm B has the production function qB = L^(1/2)K^(1/2). a. Calculate each firm's MPL and MPK. b. Suppose that each firm is limited to 64 units of capital in the short run. Which of the two firms will have a larger marginal product of labor?

Consider the Solow model with a production function $Y(t)=A \cdot k(t)^{\alpha} L(t)^{1-\alpha},$ where $A$ is a fixed technological parameter. Explicitly solve for the steady-state value of the per capita capital stock and per capita income. How do these values change in response to a rise in (a) the technological parameter $A,(\mathrm{b})$ the rate of saving $s$ (c) $\alpha,(\mathrm{d}) \delta,$ the depreciation rate, and (e) the population growth rate $n ?$
Suppose that the production function is $q=L^{0.56} K^{0.48}$ a. What is the average product of labor, holding capital fixed at $\bar{K}$ ? $\mathbf{A}$ b. What is the marginal product of labor? (Hints: See Solved Problem $6.1 .$ Calculate how much $q$ changes as $L$ increases by 1 unit for a particular pair of $K$ and $L,$ use calculus, or see Appendix $6 \mathrm{C}$.) $\mathrm{C}$
