The absolute value of the slope of the production possibilities curve is the
A. marginal rate of substitution.
B. contract curve.
C. offer curve.
D. Engel curve.
E. marginal rate of transformation.
ANSWER : E : MARGINAL RATE OF TRANSFORMATION (THUMBS UP PLEASE)
PRODUCTION POSSIBILITY CURVE SHOWS THE MAXIMUM POSSIBLE OUTPUT COMBINATION OF 2 COMMODITIES OR SERVICES WITH AVAILABLE RESOURCES.
MARGINAL RATE OF TRANSFORMATION SHOWS HOW MUCH
PRODUCTION OF ONE COMMODITY SHOULD BE FORGONE TO PRODUCE 1 UNIT OF
ANOTHER COMMODITY WITHOUT CHANGING THE USE OF PRODUCTION
FACTORS.

. Given that the slope of an indifference curve at any point is the “marginal rate of substitution” between Y and X explain/prove that MRS is equal to the ratio of the consumer’s marginal evaluation of good X to his/her marginal evaluation of good Y (i.e. MRS = -MUx/MUy). (2 pts)

The inflection point of the total product curve is where: a. the value of the marginal product is negative. b. the average product equals marginal product. c. the marginal product reaches its maximum or the total product will start to increase at a decreasing rate. d. the marginal rate of technical substitution is equal to one.
The marginal rate of technical substitution is a. the rate at which the firm can substitute labor for capital while holding total cost constant. b. the rate at which the firm can substitute labor for capital while holding output constant. c. the slope of the isocost curve. d. both a and c e. none of the above
