The production function gets flatter, while the total cost curve gets steeper due to the fact that C. <u>at higher levels of</u><em><u> production firms </u></em><u>require less inputs to increase production by the same amount as compared to lower levels of </u><u>production.</u>
The <em>production function</em> shows the relationship that exists between the inputs and the outputs during the production of a product.
It should be noted that <u>diminishing marginal product</u> is vital for explaining why the increase in the output of a firm results in the <em>production function</em> getting flatter. Also, the <em>total curve</em> becomes steeper.
Therefore, at higher levels of production, firms require fewer inputs to increase<em> production</em> by the same amount.
