As long as the marginal product is positive total product increases i.e. each of the additional units of labour are contributing to the total product and as a result total product increases. After a certain point due to overcrowding, total product starts falling, this is the point for which marginal product becomes negative.i.e. from this point onwards additional units of labours contribute negative amount of total product.

Diminishing marginal returns occur when: O total product decreases. O each additional unit of a variable factor adds more to total output than the previous unit. the marginal product of a variable factor is increasing at a decreasing rate. each additional unit of a variable factor adds less to total output than the previous unit.

Diminishing marginal productivity a. means that adding one more unit of the variable input will reduce total product. b. occurs when the marginal product curve begins to slope downward c. occurs eventually because each additional unit of the variable unit has, on average, fewer units of the fixed input with which to work. d. both a and c e. both b and c 7.

28) The law of diminishing returns, as it applies to labor, means that A) the marginal product of labor will eventually be a horizontal line at zero. B) the average product of labor starts to decline before the marginal product of labor. C) total output eventually decreases. D) the average product of labor increases at a decreasing rate. E) the marginal product of labor eventually decreases as more labor is added with capital held fixed. 29) A firm's short-run labor...

1). Describe the law of eventually diminishing marginal returns. Does this law occur in the short run or in the long run. Why? Will a profit maximizing firm ever operate in the range of diminishing returns. Explain your answer.

a. Complete the following table.
b. Explain whether the production function satisfies the
diminishing marginal returns property.
c. Draw the firm’s short-run production function and verify
graphically that average product is falling when it is higher than
the marginal product and that total product is falling when
marginal product is negative.

Assume labor is the only variable input and that the law of diminishing returns applies, explain the relationship between the marginal product of labor and marginal costs, and the average product of labor and average variable costs. Illustrate graphically these two sets of relationships, and illustrate graphically the short-run average total cost curve. Explain why, in the short-run, that average total cost is eventually increasing as production increases
