Looking at the following plot of a firm's production function, represented by isoquants for production levels and isocost line for different total costs of production. Which of the following are true? 101 K, Capital per unit time 80 Cost $36.90 2 Cost $18:40 L. Labour per unit time 10 Y6 a. Points a and b are each cost minimizing points for the firm at different levels of output. b. Point d will have higher output and lower total cost than point c c. Point e has less output than point b, but a higher total cost. d. The production function exhibits increasing returns to scale. e. It's clear that Point c does not correspond to a cost-minimizing bundle of inputs.
