Mark 1.00 out of 1.00
The law of diminishing marginal returns refers to the situation in which _______ eventually declines as more of the variable
input is employed, given a certain amount of the fixed input.
average cost
marginal cost
marginal product
average revenue
The law of diminishing marginal returns states that as additional units of a variable input (such as labour) are added to a
fixed input (such as capital), the marginal product of the variable input will eventually decline.
Marginal product refers to the additional output produced by employing one more unit of a variable input while keeping all
other inputs constant. It measures the change in output resulting from the addition of one more unit of the variable input. As
more units of the variable input are added to a fixed input, initially, the marginal product may increase. This occurs because
the additional input brings about greater specialisation and efficiency in production. However, as the variable input
continues to increase, a point is reached where the marginal product starts to decline.
