The law of diminishing marginal returns states: Select one: a. As a firm uses more of a variable factor of production, total product (TP) eventually decreases. b. As the size of a plant increases, marginal product (MP) eventually decreases. c. As a firm uses more of a variable factor of production, its average cost (AC) eventually decreases. d. As a firm uses more of a variable factor of production, with a given quantity of the fixed factor of production, the MP of the variable factor eventually decreases.

Factors of Production

Factors of production – in simple words means the factors that are used for producing any product or service. This includes the resources which are necessary for the manufacturing of products. Factors of production are also known as the building blocks of the economy.
