HOW TOTAL & MARGINAL OUTPUT IS AFFECTED

BY CHANGE IN ONE INPUT KEEPING OTHER

INPUTS CONSTATNT.

“AS PROPORTION OF ONE FACTOR IN A

COMBINATION OF FACTORS IS INCREASED,

MARGINAL & AVERAGE OUTPUTS WILL INCREASE

THEN AFTER A POINT, FIRST MARGINAL AND

THEN AVERAGE OUTPUT WILL DIMINISH”.

EXAMPLES OF LAW OF VARIABLE PROPORTIONS

NO OF AIRCRAFT TAKING PART IN BOMBING MISSION AND DESTRUCTION SOUGHT.

NO OF GUNS ALLOTTED TO NEUTRALISE A TARGET AND EFFECT ACHIEVED.

AMOUNT OF TIME ALLOCATED TO TRAINING AND STANDARDS ACHIEVED.

NO OF MEN ALLOCATED TO A TASK AND OUTPUT.

IN SHORT, IN SITUATIONS WHERE ONE FACTOR IS INCREASED, WHILE OTHERS REMAIN CONSTANT.

ASSUMPTIONS

NO CHANGE IN TECHNOLOGY

IMPROVEMENT IN TECHNOLOGY BOUND

TO RAISE OUTPUT.

ONLY ONE FACTOR VARIABLE, REST

CONSTANT.


LAW OF RETURN TO SCALELAW OF RETURN TO SCALE

DEALS WITH EFFECT ON OUTPUT, WHEN ALL

INPUTS CHANGE SIMULTANEOUSLY IN SAME

RATIO - DOUBLE, TREBLE ETC…

LARGER THE SCALE OF ACTIVITIES – LOWER

GENERALLY THE COST OF ACHIEVING
