Find steady-state output per worker: plug the expression for steady state capital into the production function and simplify
EQUATIONS
steady state capital per worker: kt = (sA/δ + n)^1/1-α
0 = sAkt^α - (δ + n)kt (at steady state)
production function: Yt= AKt^αNt^(1−α)
Your answer:- Yt/Kt =AKt^-(1-α).N^1-α simply dividing the production function by Kt.
Now as everything is function of t so I write K instead of Kt,Also N instead of Nt. and Y instead of Yt.
so the equation becomes Y/K =A(K/N)^-(1-α)
THEREFORE, (Y/N)/(K/N) =A(K/N)^-(1-α)
Y/N =A(K/N)^α
Now substitute for steady state capital per worker: kt = (sA/δ + n)^1/1-α where kt=(K/N) or (Kt/Nt)
THEREFORE, Y/N =steady-state output per worker = A(sA/δ + n)α^/1-α
Hence the result.
