The slope of a typical isoquant is negative because to produce a given output, a producer Question 2Select one: A. can use less of one input only if it uses more of another. cross out B. will use more of one input only if the price of that input falls. cross out C. output increases with the increase in inputs. cross out D. will use more of one input only if it uses more of another. cross out E. can use less of one input only if the productivity of that input increases.

Which one of the following is NOT a characteristic of an isoquant? Group of answer choices: - Its slope is the ratio of capital and labor productivities in negative. - It shows perfect substitutability between capital and labor in the long-run. - As one of the resources needs to be increased, its equal increments will release fewer units of the other. - Its slope varies as the combination of the resources changes.
