"Look at the three isocost lines in Figure 2.8. Based on this information, what can we conclude?" Isocosts MN and FG represent the same price ratio (wage/price of coal) but different total costs of production. Isocost HJ represents a higher (wage/price of coal) ratio than isocost FG. Isocost HJ represents all points that can produce 100 metres of cloth at a particular price ratio. When the wage is £10 and the price of coal is £5, the combination of inputs at point N is more costly than the inputs at point B.
