Answer:

maturity

Explanation:

The four stages of a product's life cycle are:

  1. introduction: the new product is released in the market (it is born), sales are slow and advertisement costs are high.
  2. growth: sales volume increases, customers know about the product, and competing firms are starting to launch their own versions of the product.
  3. maturity: sales growth stops, which means that total sales reached a zenith, companies fight to keep their share of the market and generally launch different versions of the product to keep customers interested.
  4. decline: sales volume starts to decrease as the product becomes obsolete. Finally the product will stop being produced (the product dies).

At Lequals86​, Kequals90​, the marginal product of labor is 8 and the marginal product of capital is 2. What is the marginal rat
Sidana [21]

Answer:

0.25

Explanation:

The marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) can be described as the rate of a reduction is one factor to maintain the same production level when another factor is increased.

Given that labor is measured on the horizontal axis, the MRST of K for L can be calculated as follows:

MRST_{KL} = \frac{MP_{K} }{MP_{L} }

Where;

MPK =  Marginal product of capital = 2

MPL = Marginal product of labor = 8

Substituting the values into the equation, we have:

MRST_{KL} = \frac{2}{8} =\frac{1}{4} = 0.25

This implies that 0.25 of capital must be given up to have one unit of labor.
