Suppose the current level of output is 5000. If the elasticities of output with respect to capital and labor are 0.3 and 0.7, respectively, a 10% increase in capital combined with a 5% increase in labor and a 5% increase in productivity would increase the current level of output to :_______

Sagot :

Answer:

5575

Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

Factor      Elasticity          Increase        Effective Increase

                      A                        B      A × B

Capital      0.3                                 10%      3.00%

Labor        0.7                                  5%       3.50%

Increase due to Productivity                      5.00%

Total Increase in Output                             11.50%

(3% + 3.5% + 5%)  

Original Output                                              5000

Increase in Output (5000 × 11.5%)                 575

Increase Output (5000 + 575)                      5575
