Providing a constant number of workers with additional capital with which to work will labor productivity at a(n) rate. rev: 05_30_2018 multiple choice
a. increase.
b. increasing decrease.
c. decreasing increase.
d. constant increase.
e. decreasing.

The correct answer that fills the gaps are: A. increase; E. decreasing.

Explanation:

The Law of diminishing returns has a fundamental role in the productivity of a factor, since it indicates that the marginal productivity of each factor decreases as more units of it are added to the production process (leaving the rest of the productive factors in a constant amount). In this way exceeding the optimum amount of a productive factor can even result in a decrease in total productivity.

It is necessary to explain the basic concept of diminishing marginal returns. If we increase the quantity of a productive factor and leave the amount used of the rest fixed, there will come a time when the quantity of final product we obtain is less as we produce more and more. There may even come a time when, by increasing a unit of factor employed (for example, work or machinery), production decreases.

Explained in simple words, it seems that despite what may be thought a priori, increasing a factor not only does not increase the production of the good or service but can lead to a gradual decrease in the amount produced.

i tried to get the answer but i could not find it

hi : ) i found this so i hope this !

"we first find value of tax in dollars.

the difference between the two prices   is: 23. 54 - 22 = 1.54

therefore the sales tax in dollars is 1.54

the tax % will be   (amount of tax / original cost price ) × 100

(1.54 / 22) × 100  → (0.07) × 100 =   7

so the tax rate is 7%

we can double check the answer.

7 % of 22   → (7/100) × 22 → 0.07 × 22 = 1.54

22 + 1.54 = 23.54"
