You are the assistant vice president in charge of production for a firm that produces computers. Your firm's production function is f(L,K) = min (L,K) Where L and K are the quantities of the two inputs that your firm uses in its production process. In the axes below, illustrate your firm's isoquant to produce 170 computers. Be sure to label the axes as a part of your answer. If the cost of input L is $18 per unit, and the cost of input K is $10 per unit, illustrate some of your firm's isocost curves in the axes above.
