What moves on the Producer Theory (Isoquants & Isocosts) diagram
A bigger budget shifts the isocost line outward in parallel. With unchanged input prices, the firm expands along the same expansion path.
The firm produces at the cheapest input mix: where the isoquant touches the isocost line.
A funding round lands and the production budget expands.
The isocost line shifts out in parallel; input prices haven't changed.
The firm scales up along its expansion path, hiring more labour AND more machines in the same ratio.
Examiners ask this as: funding round, investment, bigger budget, capital raise, expansion budget.
