Link between Goods and Factor Prices:
The link between prices of goods and prices of factors can be seen from


Note that we can write the analogous equations for PK, PL in the production of Y rather than X.
These equations indicate that Px,PL, reflect the marginal contribution of K, L to consumer utility though their production of consumer goods X and Y. So in short these equations say,

Remember that consumers do not obtain utility from capital and labour. However, the prices of K and L, reflect the 'indirect utility' generated by capital and labour through transformation into X and Y, which are consumed.
