Cost in the Short Run; Cost in the Long Run; Long-Run Versus Short-Run Production technology measures the relationship between input and output of output combining isocosts with isoquants; We choose the output we wish There are three isocost lines, of which 2 are possible choices in which to produce Q1. In economics an isocost line shows all combinations of inputs which cost the same total amount cost of inputs. A line joining tangency points of isoquants and isocosts (with input prices held constant) is called the expansion path.
