Production Technologies and Isocost Lines
- Technology A: Produces 100 meters of fabric using 1 worker and 4 tons of coal.
- Technology B: Produces 100 meters of fabric using 4 workers and 2 tons of coal.
- Isocost lines: Represent different combinations of workers and coal that result in the same total cost.
- Isocost line N-M: Has a different cost than the isocost line J-H.
- Isocost line J-H: Represents a situation where the wage cost is $20 and the coal price is $10.
- Isocost lines G-F and J-H: Have different costs for Technology B.
- Technology A Cost: The cost for Technology A is not $60 when the wage cost is $20 and the coal price is $10.
