Refer to Figure 7.8. The slope of isocost AB is

A) greater than the slope of isocost CD.
B) less than the slope of isocost CD.
C) equal to the slope of isocost CD.
D) indeterminate from this information, as the prices of capital and labor are not given.

Isocost Line

Represents all combinations of inputs (like labor and capital) that cost the same amount for a firm, used in the analysis of optimal production decisions.

Slope

A measurement that indicates whether the relationship between variables is positive or negative and how much of a response there is in Y (the variable on the vertical axis) when X (the variable on the horizontal axis) changes.

Capital

Financial assets or the financial value of assets, such as funds held in deposit accounts and funds obtained from special financing sources.
