A firm pays $10 per unit of labor and $5 per unit of capital. make diagram of the isocost curves for production total cost of $100; total cost of $200; and total cost of $500.
Isoquant curves and isocost curves are tools that can explain how a firm might best respond to changes in the production environment.  Present an example of an isocost curve where labor and capital are the two inputs, and explain what it is using language someone not trained in economics could understand.  Present an example of an isoquant in the same diagram you used for your isocost curve, and draw the isoquant so it cuts the isocost curve twice. Explain what an isoquant is using language someone not trained in economics could understand.  Label the two points A and B, where the isocost and isoquant curves intersect.  Present a logical argument that explains why the firm should operate neither at point A nor point B, and present a point that would be optimal by drawing a new isoquant curve in the diagram.  Add a second isocost curve to your diagram such that the firm is spending more money on inputs.  Add a third isoquant to your diagram to show a firm that would become more capital…
Question 4 The firm can use two inputs, L and K. The price of L= 20 and price of K = 30. Total cost = 300. As usual in the two input graph, units of L are on the horizontal axis and K on the vertical. The slope of the isocost line is [Select] The maximum units of K that can be purchased is [Select] The maximum units of L that can be purchased is [Select] 2 pts Is the bundle of K-9 and L- 5 on the isocost line? [Select]
