Dryden Press can produce 10,000 textbooks using 10 machines and 100 workers or using 5 machines and 300 workers. It can produce 20,000 textbooks using 10 machines and 300 workers or 5 machines and 600 workers. Construct a two-dimensional contour-type graph to show the relationship between the output of textbooks and the labor and machinery inputs.
What will be an ideal response?
The labor and capital inputs are measured along the X and Y axes. The first contour line is at an output level of 10,000 and contains a line connecting two points: K = 10 and L = 100, and K = 5 and L = 300. The higher output level for Q = 20,000 is a higher contour line to the right of Q = 10,000, again containing two points. The second line connects K = 10 and L = 300 with K = 5 and L = 600.
