Solution

The firm achieves optimality in the pursuit for cost minimization to produce quantity Q at the point where the isoquant and isocost line cross paths. This is because the isoquant curve represents all the combinations of inputs that yield the same level of output, while the isocost line represents all the combinations of inputs that cost the same amount. Therefore, the point where these two lines intersect represents the combination of inputs that both minimizes cost and achieves the desired level of output.
