  1. I will assume that this supporsed to be Cobb-Douglas production function for Solow model.

    1: Growth=n+g =2%+4%= +6%

    2: K*12% (just to cover depreciation)

    3: n+g+σ =2%+4%+12%= k+18%

    4: n+σ =2%+12%=k+14%

    n - population growth

    g - technology growth

    σ - depreciation

    K - capital

    k - capital per worker
