Multiple Choice
A firm has the production function f(X, Y) =
, where X is the amount of factor x used and Y is the amount of factor y used. On a diagram we put X on the horizontal axis and Y on the vertical axis. We draw some isoquants. Now we draw a straight line on the graph and we notice that wherever this line meets an isoquant, the isoquant has a slope of 23. The straight line we drew
A) is vertical.
B) is horizontal.
C) is a ray through the origin with slope 3.
D) is a ray through the origin with slope 4.
E) has a negative slope.
