Answer to Question 1

The law of diminishing marginal product states that as the amount of a variable input is increased, while the quantity of other fixed inputs are held constant, a point will ultimately be reached beyond which marginal product will decline. We expect an initial rise in marginal product because of gains from specialization. However, these benefits will eventually be exhausted at some larger output level. In addition, the size of the operation expands with more and more units of one resource being used, we will see a bottleneck effect where workers (or other resources) essentially get in each others' way.
