How to Calculate Mrts Example?

Marginal rate of technical substitution is equal to ∆K/∆L which is exactly the slope of the above plotted isoquant. You can see that the rate at which capital is substituted by labor decreases as we move along the isoquant from y-axis to x-axis.

How do you calculate technical rate of substitution?

How to Calculate MRTS?
  1. K = Capital.
  2. L = Labor.
  3. MP = Marginal products of each input.
  4. (∆K÷∆L) = Amount of capital that can be reduced when labour is increased (typically by one unit)

What does a MRTS of 4 mean?

What does a MRTS=4 mean? MRTS is the amount by which the quantity of one input can be reduced when the other input is increased by one unit, while maintaining the same level of output. If the MRTS is 4 then the one input can be reduced by 4 units as the other is increased by one unit and output will be the same.
