6. Relationship between returns to scale, isoquants, production frontiers, and cost curves The following graph shows two isoquants that represent the firm's production technology. One of the isoquants shows all of the possible combinations of labor and capital that can produce 300 units of output (q = 300), but you must determine the other isoquant's quantity given the information that follows.
