Find the correct statements from the following in respect to production:

A. Average Product of Labour (APLAP_L)= Total Product of Labour / Labor.

B. Marginal Product of Labour (MPLMP_L)= Change in total Product of Labour / Change in Labour.

C. Addition input gives constant return in increasing return to scale concept.

D. Law of variable proportions say that the marginal product of a factor input initially rises with its employment level, then after certain level it start falling.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

APLAP_L and MPLMP_L are correctly defined in A and B, and the law of variable proportions is correctly described in D. Statement C is wrong: under increasing returns to scale, an added unit of input gives more than proportionate, not constant, extra output. So A, B and D only.
