HO Mоdel: (15 pоints; 15 min.) The Stоlper-Sаmuelson Theorem stаtes thаt in the long run, an increase in the relative price of a good will increase the real earnings of the factor used intensively in the production of that good and decrease the real earning of the other factor.Please answer the following questions using the information below. You may look away from the computer monitor briefly to do the math for this question. Computers: Sales revenue Pc x QC = $100 Earnings of labor W x LC = $50 Earnings of capital R x KC = $50 Shoes: Sales revenue PS x QS = $100 Earnings of labor W x LS = $75 Earnings of capital R x KS = $25Suppose the following: Computers: Percentage increase in price is 0% Shoes: Percentage increase in price is 5%Solve for the percent change in wages (W) and percent change in rent on capital (R) usingR = [(PC x QC ) - (W x LC )] / KC , for computersR = [(Ps x Qs ) - (W x Ls )] / Ks , for shoes
