Graphically show the relationship between the total fixed cost, the total variable cost, and the total cost. Draw a total cost curve and total revenue curve so that at some outputs that the firm takes losses, outputs where the firm makes unnecessary profits, and where the firm makes only necessary profits. Then, pick a point where the firm is taking losses and show on the graph, the firm’s total losses. Do the same for a point (an output level) where the firm may be making unnecessary profits.

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.
