Answer to Question 1

b

Answer to Question 2

Let us assume a firm wants to produce 15,000 units of a good annually. The least-cost combination of inputs can be obtained from the point of tangency between the isoquant depicting an annual output of 15,000 units and the lowest isocost line achievable for this level of production.
