The absolute value of the marginal rate of technical substitution for a cost minimizing firm that uses only labor
and capital is 10 (the amount of capital that can be substituted per unit of labor). The wage rate for labor is
$10. If the only inputs are capital and labor, what is the rental rate for capital in dollars?
The rental rate of capital is $1
Step-by-step explanation
Marginal rate of substitution=wages(price of labor)/ rent(price of capital)
10=$10/rent(price of capital)
Rent(price of capital)=$10/10
=$1
The rental rate of capital is $1
