Question
What is Marginal Rate of Transformation? Explain with the help of numerical example.

Answer

Marginal Rate of Transformation of a particular good along PPC is the amount of a particular good which is sacrificed to increase the production of the other good by 1 unit. It also called MOC (Marginal Opportunity Cost).
Production Possibilities (Thousands kgs) Amount of (X)(Butter in)kg. Amount of (Y)(Guns) Thousand $\text{MRT}=\frac{\Delta\text{Y}}{\Delta\text{X}}$
A 0 21 --
B 1 20 1Y : 1Y
C 2 18 2Y : 1X
D 3 15 3Y : 1X
E 4 11 4Y : 1X
F 5 6 5Y : 1X
G 6 0 6Y : 1X
Here, $\text{MRT}=\frac{\Delta\text{Guns}}{\Delta\text{Butter}}=\frac{\Delta\text{Y}}{\Delta\text{X}}$
