Answer:

The above statement is TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

Isocost Line shows input/factor combinations (here - labor & capital) which are of same Total Cost / budget to the producer , given factors price .

It is analogous to Consumer's Budget Line Constraint (representing product combinations satisfying their income budget) .

It is an important component of Producer's Equilibrium : Producer is at equilibrium where Isocost is tangent to Isoquant (representing input/ factor combinations yielding same level of production quantity - analogous to consumer's indifference curve showing production combinations offering same consumer satisfaction) .

Tangency of Iscost line to Isoquant curve gives Producer Equilibrium .
