Answer:

3) Total Product is increasing if marginal product is still positive.

When marginal product reaches its maximum, Total Product increases at increasing rate.

3 Stages Of Production Function

• Stage 1 :

When TP increases at increasing rate, then MP and AP also increases. This stage ends when AP is in maximum. It represents Increasing Returns to a factor.

Stage 2 :

TP increases at a decreasing rate. Then, MP falls and become zero and AP declines. This stage represents Diminishing Returns to a Factor.

• Stage 3 :

TP starts to decline, MP becomes negative. AP also declines, but never become 0. It represents Negative Returns to a Factor.
