Isoquants curves represent combinations of different factors of production (such as labor and capital) that yield the same level of output. An isoquant map shows contour lines of equal levels of output, called isoquants. All points along the same isoquant line indicate the different combinations of capital and labor that can be used to produce the same level of output. Higher isoquants can be obtained as more capital and labor are added, indicating that higher levels of production are achievable with different combinations of inputs.

For example, consider a bakery that makes bread using labor (workers) and capital (ovens). An isoquant might show that ten workers and five ovens produce 200 loaves of bread per day. Another point on the same isoquant might show that eight workers and six ovens also produce 200 loaves per day. This demonstrates the concept of input substitution: the bakery can use more of one input and less of the other while maintaining the same output. The concept of isoquants helps businesses determine the most cost-effective combination of inputs for producing a certain level of output, considering the marginal rate of technical substitution between inputs and their relative prices.
