10) The law of diminishing returns states that: (a) as a firm uses more of a variable resource, given the quantity of fixed resources, the average product of the firm will increase. (b) as a firm uses more of a variable resource, given the quantity of fixed resources, marginal product of the firm will eventually decrease. (c) in the short run, the average total costs of the firm will eventually diminish. (d) in the long run, the average total costs of the firm will eventually diminish

Cost of Production

In economic theory, production costs are the costs incurred by an industrial organization when it engineers a project or provides a service that generates revenue and benefits. Labor costs, raw materials, consumable manufacturing costs, and general overhead sum up, accounting for production costs. Total cost data is calculated by combining total direct costs of materials, labor costs, and total production costs.
