A firm uses labour, L and capital K, to produce a single product, X. capital is fixed but labour is variable. The firm’s production function is: X=-0.2L3 + 18L2 + 1620L. Where X is the number of units of the product per week, and L is the number of persons employed. A. A t what weekly output is marginal cost equal to average variable cost?

Isocost and Isoprofit Curve Analysis

An isocost curve in the production theory that is a crucial part of economics depicts different combinations of factor inputs at a given market cost. In other words, this shows all the combinations of production factors that cost the same for the firm to employ. Usually, this can be depicted as a downward sloping straight line when the firms act as the price-takers in the factor markets. The slope of this mainly depicts the relative prices of different production factors.
