Suppose the production function for T-shirts can be represented as q = L0.25 K0.75. When K = 1 and q = 2, what is the slope of the isoquant? If there is insufficient information to answer the question, describe what information is needed

What will be an ideal response?


Since the slope of the isoquant is -K/3L, one needs to know the level of L. Since K = 1 and q = 2, L must equal 16. Thus the slope of the isoquant at this point is -(1/48 ).
