Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When some factors of production are fixed (such as capital or land), equal-sized increases in production will eventually require larger increases in the variable factors (such as labor or raw materials). This is because the fixed factor cannot increase, and as more and more of the variable factor is added, it may become less productive or efficient (due to diminishing marginal returns), requiring even larger increases to maintain the same level of output.
