Solution

The Cobb-Douglas production function Y = K^(2/3) L^(1/3) can be rearranged into the output per worker function by dividing both sides of the equation by L (the number of workers).

Step 1: Divide both sides of the equation by L Y/L = K^(2/3) L^(1/3) / L

Step 2: Simplify the right side of the equation Y/L = K^(2/3) * L^(-2/3)

Step 3: Rewrite the equation with y = Y/L and k = K/L y = k^(2/3)

So, the output per worker function is y = k^(2/3). The other options y = k^(1/3), y = k^3, and y = k^2 are not correct rearrangements of the original Cobb-Douglas production function.
