The Paunch Burger restaurant chain currently produces 250,000 units of output by using 2,400 units of capital and 520 units of labor. Paunch Burger’s marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) of labor for capital is 3.5. If Paunch Burger’s regional manager wants to produce the same amount of output but increase the company’s use of capital by 175 units, how many units of capital will Paunch Burger now need to use?
