Suppose that the production function is Y = AK0.35L0.65, the number of workers equals 800, the capital stock is $150,000, and real GDP is $750,000. What is the value of total factor productivity?

What will be an ideal response?

Y = AK0.35L0.65, so A = Y / K0.35L0.65 = $750,000 / ($150,000)0.35(800)0.65 = 150.11
