| In [[economic]] theory, the '''Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution''' ('''MRTS''')—or '''Technical Rate of Substitution''' ('''TRS''')—is the amount by which the quantity of one input has to be reduced (<math>-\Delta x_2</math>) when one extra unit of another input is used (<math>\Delta x_1 = 1</math>), so that output remains constant (<math>y = \bar{y}</math>).

| Along an isoquant, the MRTS shows the rate at which one input (e.g. capital or labor) may be substituted for another, while maintaining the same level of output. The MRTS can also be seen as the slope of an [[isoquant]] at the point in question.

Andrew Berryhill is what his spouse enjoys to call him and he completely digs that title. To perform lacross is the factor I adore most of all. For a while I've been in Alaska but I will have to move in a yr or two. He is an purchase clerk and it's something he truly appreciate.
