Expert Solution
Introduction

If there are 2 inputs then if we keep one input constant and start increasing another input then the production function goes through 2 stages:

A) Increasing returns: If relative to input (which is held constant) the another input starts from a very low level then the value of the output increase at increasing rate with the increase of that input.

B) Decreasing returns: If relative to input (which is held constant) the another input starts from a very high level then the value of the output increase at decreasing rate with the increase of that input.
