Y = F(K, L) = AK1/3L2/3

2) Suppose you triple K and L simultaneously, what happens to output, Y?

3) What is the MPL?

a. Sketch a graph of the relationship between the MPL and output, placing output on the vertical axis and the quantity of labor on the horizontal axis.

b. Holding everything else constant, what happens to the MPL if the amount of K available to this economy increases?

c. Holding everything else constant, what happens to the MPL if the amount of L available to this economy increases?

4) What is the MPK?

a. Holding everything else constant, what happens to the MPK if the amount of K available to this economy increases?

b. Holding everything else constant, what happens to the MPK if the amount of L available to this economy increases?

5) Rewrite the MPL as a function of output per worker.

6) Rewrite the MPK as a function of output per unit of capital.
