What happens to the additional output when a factor shows diminishing marginal returns as more units are employed?

Show Answers

Output decreases with each new unit hiredOutput remains unchanged regardless of additional unitsThe extra output produced by each unit growsEach new unit contributes progressively less outputOutput increases at a constant rate

Explanation

When a factor experiences diminishing marginal product, each additional unit added results in a smaller increase in output than the previous one. This means the marginal product declines, but total output may still rise, just at a decreasing rate.
