A firm has the following production function: q = KL, where q is output, K is capital and L is labor. The price of a unit of capital is $1,000 and the price of a unit of labor is $500. The total cost includes the cost of capital and labor, as well as an additional $200 per unit of output for raw materials. The firm currently runs a single factory with 5 units of capital. Assume that capital is fixed in the short run. (a) How much does it cost to produce q units of output (in the short-run)? [The answer I expect is a particular function of q.] (b) Will the firm produce or shut down in the short run if the price of a unit of output is $300? Explain in at most one sentence.

Isocost and Isoprofit Curve Analysis

An isocost curve in the production theory that is a crucial part of economics depicts different combinations of factor inputs at a given market cost. In other words, this shows all the combinations of production factors that cost the same for the firm to employ. Usually, this can be depicted as a downward sloping straight line when the firms act as the price-takers in the factor markets. The slope of this mainly depicts the relative prices of different production factors.
