Suppose an economy is described by the Solow model. The rate of population growth is 1 percent, the rate of technological progress is 3 percent, the depreciation rate is 5 percent, and the saving rate is 10 percent. In steady state, output per person growth at rate of a.1 percent. b.2 percent. c.3 percent. d.4 percent.

Suppose an economy described by the Solow model is in a steady state with population growth n of 1.8 percent per year and technological progress g of 1.8 percent per year. Total output and total capital grow at 3.6 percent per year. Suppose further that the capital share of output is 1/3. If you used the growth-accounting equation to divide output growth into three sources—capital, labor, and total factor productivity—how much would you attribute to each source?
