B) the slope of the consumer's indifference curve is equal to the ratio of the marginal utilities of the two goods, whereas the slope of the production isoquant is the opposite of the ratio of the marginal product of labor relative to the marginal product of capital.
C) the slope is equal in both instances.
D) they are calculated by subtracting the price ratio from the output level.
