Quoting Ian Wright <wrighti@ACM.ORG>: > Hi Fred > >> My equations are very simple.

And what are the units? ki is a flow variable - the “cost price” of a commodity, i.e. the sum of the constant capital and variable capital consumed in the production of the commodity in a given period, as defined in Chapter 1 of Volume 3. Ki is a stock variable – the total capital advanced at a certain point in time, i.e. the sum of the stock of constant capital and the stock of variable capital. The latter is often considered to be negligibly small, in which case Ki is simplified to Ci. Both of these variables are taken as given in the determination of the price of production of each commodity, as equal to current costs of the inputs. The units are all money.
