Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Isoquants are curves that represent all possible combinations of inputs (usually labor and capital) that will produce a certain level of output. Therefore, each isoquant corresponds to the same level of output. A is incorrect because isoquants can represent different levels of capital. B is incorrect because isoquants can represent different levels of labor. D is incorrect because isoquants can be negatively sloped (showing complementary inputs) or L-shaped (showing fixed proportions) in certain cases. E is incorrect because isoquants cannot cross, as that would violate the law of diminishing marginal returns.
