More labor should be used relative to capital, since the firm is getting a greater physical return for its money from using extra workers than it is getting from using extra capital. However as more and more labor is used, diminishing returns to labor set in. Thus MPPL will fall. Likewise, as less capital is used, MPPK will rise. Until
MPPK =   MPPL
 PK             PL
