Explanation:
Marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) refers to the rate at which the inputs are substituted for one another in a production of particular good.

He would would have a short term capital loss of $200 (10 shares at $20 each)
Short term losses are considered losses on assets that have been held for less than 1 year.
