2. Consider the country of Solow, which is described by the SolowSwan growth model with constant total factor productivity. Let the saving rate = 0.75. Per capita output (y) is equal to 100 and the per capita capital stock (k) is 1000. For Solow to be in steady state: the depreciation rate is 0.025 and the population growth rate is 0.05 the sum of the depreciation rate and the population growth rate must be less than 0.075 the depreciation rate is 0.25 and the population growth rate is 0.5 the depreciation rate and population growth rate must sum to 0.75
