The market demand for wheat is Q = 100 - 2p + 1pb + 2Y. If the price of wheat, p, is $2,
and the price of barley, pb, is $3, and income, Y, is $1000, what is the income elasticity of
wheat?

(b) Show mathematically that the ratio of the marginal product of labor and capital equals the
MRTS.
(c) When a firm uses different factors of production or least cost combination the optimum
combination of factors is achieved when MPL / PL = MPL / PL. intuitively explain this
statement.
