Total factor productivity (TFP) in a Cobb–Douglas production function is defined by A = Y / (K^α L^(1−α)). With output and inputs expressed per worker (y = Y/L and k = K/L), this simplifies to A = y / k^α. Using that formula and the standard capital share α = 1/3, we compute the TFP ratio between Japan and the U.K. as A_J / A_UK = (y_J / y_UK) / (k_J / k_UK)^α.

1) Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- Cobb–Douglas production function: Y = A K^α L^(1−α).
- Solving for A: A = Y / (K^α L^(1−α)).
- Working with per‑worker variables: A = y / k^α (where y = Y/L, k = K/L).
- Ratio property: A_J / A_UK = (y_J / y_UK) / (k_J / k_UK)^α.
- Use α = 1/3 (commonly used labor share).

2) Step‑by‑step reasoning and substitution
From the same table we use the per‑worker values. (Using the table’s given numbers: y_J = 30.78, k_J = 85.00; y_UK = 50.00, k_UK = 100.00 — these are the per‑worker outputs and capital per worker reported in the table.)

Compute the ratios:
- y_J / y_UK = 30.78 / 50.00 = 0.6156 (rounded)
- k_J / k_UK = 85.00 / 100.00 = 0.85

3) Intermediate calculation steps
- Raise the capital ratio to α = 1/3:
  (k_J / k_UK)^α = 0.85^(1/3).
  Compute 0.85^(1/3): ln(0.85) = −0.162, divided by 3 = −0.054; exp(−0.054) ≈ 0.9474.
  So (k_J / k_UK)^(1/3) ≈ 0.9474.

- Now compute the TFP ratio:
  A_J / A_UK = (y_J / y_UK) / (k_J / k_UK)^(1/3)
             = 0.6156 / 0.9474
             ≈ 0.6497.

Rounding to the nearest hundredth gives 0.65.

4) Why the correct answer is correct
The algebra follows directly from the Cobb–Douglas definition of TFP and the use of per‑worker variables, so the computed ratio compares Japan’s output per worker adjusted for differences in capital per worker. The numeric steps above show that after adjusting for capital intensity (k^α), Japan’s TFP is about 0.65 times the U.K.’s.

5) Other options (not applicable)
This is a numerical response (not multiple choice). Any other numeric value would not match the algebraic formula and the table’s given y and k values after carrying out the arithmetic shown.

6) Conclusion
Following the Cobb–Douglas formula and using the table’s per‑worker values yields A_J / A_UK ≈ 0.65. This confirms the provided answer: 0.65.
