Linear Isoquant

This isoquant evinces that a given commodity can be produced by using only capital or only labour or by an infinite combination of and labour and capital. At point A on the isoquant level of output can be produced with capital alone (which means without labour). In the same way, point B indicates that same level of output can be generated with labour alone (which means without any capital). This is unrealistic since labour and capital aren't perfectly substitutable.
