Assume that the economy grows by 3 percent, total factor productivity grows by 2 percent, and the labor force grows at 2 percent. If labor contributes 40 percent to real GDP, then the stock of capital must have risen by 0.33 percent. A. True B. False

Respuesta :

Answer:

correct option is A. True

Explanation:

given data

economy grows = 3 percent

total factor productivity grows = 2 percent

labor force grows = 2 percent

labor contributes = 40 percent

stock of capital rise = 0.33 percent

solution

we apply here Economy growth % formula that is

Economy growth % = total factor productivity + labor contributes × labor force grows + ( 1- labor contributes ) stock of capital   .............1

put here value

3% = 2% + 40% (2%) + 60% C

3% = 2.8 + 0.6 × C

C = [tex]\frac{0.2}{0.6}[/tex]  

C = 33.33 %

so given statement is true
