I'm not sure if Rakesh is saying that Marx noted that all inputs needed
to be transformed or some of the inputs needed to be transformed. Given
we are dealing only with industrial capitals as Marx illustrates the 
transformation of values into prices and that some of inputs used by
those capitals are products of sectors that are natural monopolies, 
it would seem that only some of the inputs need to be transformed.


Clearly,  there is no textual evidence that Marx claimed the prices
of production of inputs must equal those of the outputs.
