Question 2

JC's music production company provides artists with studio time and a backing band to record with. In providing the rhythm track, JC can employ drum machines or drummers.
 
  Regardless of the quantity of output JC produces, he can substitute two drummers with one drum machinedrum machines tire out less quickly). Draw a few isoquant lines (with numbers) reflecting this production function for the rhythm track. Determine the function representing this production process.

Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

The drummers and drum machines are perfect substitutes. In other words, the slope of these isoquants has a constant slope meaning at any point on an isoquant the slope is 1/2 (with drummers on the x-axis). Q = L + 2K (or = aL + 2aK)
