Consider the following production function: q equals 8 LK plus 5 Upper L squared minus (one third )Upper L cubed . Given the fo
llowing expressions for the marginal productivity of each input: MP Subscript Upper L Baseline equals 8 Upper K plus 10 Upper L minus Upper L squared and MP Subscript Upper K Baseline equals 8 Upper L Assuming capital is plotted on the vertical axis and labor is plotted on the horizointal axis, determine the value of the marginal rate of technical substitution when K = 20 and L = 15. (Round your answer up to two decimal places and include the proper sign.) MRTS = nothing.

Answer:
MAD: 10.04, 11.53
MAPSE: 10% , 12%
MSE : 146.33, 178.72
Bias : -0.56 , -0.96
3-week moving average method is better
Explanation:
i ) Evaluate MAD ( average of absolute errors )
using 3 week moving average
= 10.04
using simple exponential smoothing
= 11.53
ii) MAPSE ( average of absolute percentage error )
using 3 week moving average
= 10%
using simple exponential smoothing
= 12%
iii) MSE ( average of Squared Errors )
3 week MV = 146.33 , Simple exponential smoothing = 178.72.
iv) Bias
3 week MV = -5/9 = -0.56, Simple exponential smoothing = -8.69/9 = -0.96.
v) TS ( Total error / MAD )
3 week MV = -5 / 10.04 = -0.49 ,
simple exponential smoothing = -8.69 / 11.53 = -0.75
b) I prefer 3-week moving average based on the values of MAD , MAPE, MSE, bias and TS which shows that there is a better estimate when using the 3 -weeks moving average.
