Marginal Rate of transformation or MRT is the rate at which the units of one good encompass to be sacrificed to generate one more unit of another good in a two goods economy.

Assume an economy generates only two goods X and Y. Moreover assume that by employing such resources completely and efficiently, the economy generates 1X + 10Y. If the economy decides to generate 2X, it has to cut down its production of Y by 2 units. Then 2Y is the opportunity cost of generating 1X. Then 2Y:1X is the MRT.
