NOTES FOR MICROECONOMICS 2011 - New York University
neconomides.stern.nyu.eduNote that the marginal rate of substitution (MRS) of consumer Z depends on individual preferences as expressed by the indifference curves. It does not depend on the market or the prices that may prevail in the market. 11. An additional unit of good X increases the level of satisfaction of a consumer by the marginal utility of X, MUx. Similarly ...

CONSUMER PREFERENCES - University of Southern Indiana
www.usi.eduThe marginal rate of substitution reflects the maximum amount of good Y the consumer would be willing to give up in order to obtain an additional unit of X. The consumer would be happy to give less Y since it would place the consumer above U1 at a higher utility level. However, the
MARGINAL UTILITY AND MRS (detailed notes)
www.sfu.caThe marginal rate of substitution is equal to the ratio of the marginal utilities with a minus sign. Thus even though the marginal utilities have no behavioral content their ratio does - it measures the rate at which a consumer is willing to substitute between the two goods. 2.
CHAPTER 7 THE COST OF PRODUCTION - University of Houston
uh.eduThe marginal product of labor is dQ dL = 2KL. The marginal product of capital is dQ dK = L2. Set the marginal rate of technical substitution equal to the input price ratio to determine the optimal capital-labor ratio: 2 15 2 10 KL L = , or K = 0.75L. Therefore, the capital-labor ratio should be 0.75 to minimize the cost of producing any given ...
20. Homogeneous and Homothetic Functions
faculty.fiu.eduOf course, the calculation for the marginal rate of technical substitution is essentially the same. Consequences of this include that facts that income expansion paths and scale ex-pansion paths are rays through the origin whenever the original production or utility function is homogeneous. x y
