TUTORIAL2 Chapter 7 Part 1 Key Concepts and Equations: Production Isoquant: shows all combinations of input quantities that yield the same level of output. Higher isoquant: higher level of output Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution: MRTS is the slope of the isoquant at any input combination. It tells us the rate at which we must increase the qty of input 2 per unit decrease in qty of input 1. MRTS diminishes as we move down the isoquant from left to...
