Assume there is a linear isoquant where the input combination  K = 10, L = 0 produces Q = 100. Assume that this isoquant has a MRTS (marginal rate of technical substitution) such that an increase in L by 1 unit requires the firm to give up – ½ unit of K. Assume PL= $1 and PK = $1.What is the smallest total cost necessary to produce Q = 100?
