Explanation: Diminishing returns is a term used in economics to describe the reduction in marginal output level of a business entity as the amount of a singular factor of production is increased. THE LAW OF DIMINISHING RETURNS IS OF THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES IN ECONOMICS OFTEN APPLIED TO PRODUCTION PROCESSES. The law states that if all other factors are kept constant in order to increase the production of a particular product or factor,it will get to a time when the actual increment per unit output will be reduced.
