This relationship describes that when the average productivity is gained , it exhibits that the inputs consumed per unit of output goes down. As a result, the prices of the inputs remains constant, and the average cost of production turns down. Correspondingly, if the average productivity comes down, the average cost of production will enhance. The association between marginal productivity and marginal costs is also similar. If both the average and marginal productivity increase, then the cost of production in terms of average and marginal would decrease. However, till the time marginal productivity is positive, the total cost of production will keep on increasing with step-up in ...
