Answer : Option A is correct. When the total cost is minimized for producing output Q, at the input combination selected , the slope of isocost us equal to slope of isoquant. It means that the combination of input has been provided optimumal output in order to maximize the profit.It means profit level should be higher and there is an increase in the productivity.

O The isoquant of a higher level of output is always shown closer to the origin. 0 Anoutput level Q can only be produced by input combinations on its isoquant The isoquants of two different output levels cannot cross each other in the short run, but in the long run they may cross None of the above is correct. 1 pts Question 11 11. Which of...
Suppose a firm produces an output level according to the simple production function: Q = 5 L K, which implies M P L = 5 K and M P K = 5 L. Further suppose a firm must pay labor (L) a wage rate (w) of $5 per unit, and the rental rate (r) on capital (K) is $25 per unit. A. Find the marginal rate of technical substitution. B. Write the equation for the isocost line. What is the...

1. Suppose a firm is producing output according to Q=1001KL. A. Draw a sketch of this firm's isoquant map B. What equation do you use to find a cost-minimizing combination of inputs for a certain output level Q.? K C. The marginal products of labor and capital are given by MP, = 50, and L MPK = 50, L respectively. The price of labor is $5 per unit, and the price of K capital is $20 per unit. What is...

TUTORIAL2 Chapter 7 Part 1 Key Concepts and Equations: Production Isoquant: shows all combinations of input quantities that yield the same level of output. Higher isoquant: higher level of output Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution: MRTS is the slope of the isoquant at any input combination. It tells us the rate at which we must increase the qty of input 2 per unit decrease in qty of input 1. MRTS diminishes as we move down the isoquant from left to...
QUESTION 4 The slope of an isocost line shows: the ratio of the marginal revenue product of the inputs. O the ratio of marginal product of the inputs. the marginal rate of technical substitution. the ratio of the input prices. the output elasticity of production. QUESTION 5 If the marginal product per dollar spent on capital is less than the marginal product per dollar spent on labor, then in order to minimize costs the firm should use less capital and...
