A firm hires some number of custodians to clean a large warehouse. When only a few custodians are hired, they can quickly find and remove a lot of dust and debris. As the number of custodians increases, additional custodians have to go to greater lengths and spend more time to find and remove additional dust and debris. What property of production functions is relevant to the custodians’ situation?

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.
