What the cause of the diminishing returns law?
will the significance of the law of diminishing returns is that this determines the range of the products that is been produced if it is marketable.
Distinguish between law of diminishing returns and laws of returns to scale?
The principle of diminishing returns to inputs is when more on one input is added, while other inputs are held constant, the marginal product of the input diminishes. Decreasing returns to scale is when the a firm doubles its inputs, output increases by less than double. With diminishing returns, only one input is being changed while holding the other is fixed. But for decreasing returns, both inputs may change
What is the difference between diminishing returns and diseconomies of scale?
The principle of diminishing marginal returns to inputs is when more on one input is added, while other inputs are held constant, the marginal product of the input diminishes. Diseconomies of scale or decreasing returns to scale is when the a firm doubles its inputs, output increases by less than double. With diminishing returns, only one input is being changed while holding the other is fixed. But for decreasing returns, both inputs may change

Law of diminishing returns?
The law of diminishing returns specially applies to agriculture and other extractive industries. One thing that is common to all these industries is the supremacy of nature. It is therefore often remarked that the part that nature plays in production corresponds to diminishing returns and the part which man plays confirms to the law of increasing returns. The reason is that, nature where it is supreme is subject to diminishing returns, while industry where man is supreme, is subject to increasing return. Besides the supremacy of nature, there are several other reasons why agriculture is subject to the law of diminishing returns.The agricultural operations are spread out over a wide area, and supervision cannot be very effective. Scope for the use of specialized machinery is also very limited. Therefore economics of large scale production cannot be reaped.
From an isoquant map one can illustrate diminishing returns to production by?
Observing the slope of the isoquant as one moves outward on the labour axis but stays at the same point on the capital axis
Examples of the law of diminishing return?
The law of diminishing returns implies that adding one factor of production does not always mean an increase in output. In agriculture, adding fertilizer may increase output, but if too much fertilizer is used, it may end up poisoning the plants.
Which graph best illustrates the relationship between the two columns of the data?
The second one.
Why does the production possibility curve decrease at increasing rate?
As more inputs of production are switched from the production of one good to another, their marginal output is decreasing (see: diminishing returns to capital).
What describes a situation which there would be decreasing marginal utility?
The Law of Diminishing Returns is one of the powerful laws in economics. The Law of Economies of Scale is another law of similar importance. [And in that order IMHO]
Until when does a profit maximizing firm use additional units of resources for production?
Until it reaches the point of diminishing returns. After that point, one additional unit of resources cannot be used profitably.
The use of acronyms to improve one's menory of unfamiliar material best illustrates the value of?
Mnemonic devices.
