Production
requires use of certain inputs like land, labour, capital, raw materials, etc.
these inputs are classified as:
(i)
Factor inputs and
(ii)
Non-factor inputs
Factor
inputs include factors of production such as land, labour, capital and
enterprise, whereas non-factor inputs include raw material and fuels. These
inputs are further classified as
(i)
Fixed inputs and
(ii)
Variable inputs
A
fixed input is one whose supply cannot be increased in the short run such as,
land whereas a variable input is one whose supply can be increased in the short
run, such as labour.
2.
A production
function expresses the technical relationship between inputs and output of a
firm. It tells the maximum quantity of output that can be produced with any
given quantities of inputs. If there are two factor inputs : labour (l) and
capital (k), then the production function can be written as
Q= f(l,k) where Q is the quantity of
output and l,k the units of labour and capital.
3.
There are mainly
three concepts relating to production.
(i)
Total product or
total physical product, denoted by TPP;
(ii)
Average product
or average physical product, denoted by APP and
(iii)
Marginal product
or marginal physical product, denoted by MPP.
4.
Total physical
product (TPP) refers to the total output of a commodity at a particular level
of employment of an input (say labour) when the employment of all other inputs
( say labour or capital) is unchanged.
5.
Average physical
product (APP) is obtained by dividing the total physical product (TPP) by the
number of units of variable inputs, i.e, APP= TPP/L where L is labour input.
The APP curve is generally inverted U-shape.
6.
Marginal physical
product (MPP) is defined as an addition made to TPP by employing an additional
unit of a variable input, keeping the other inputs as unchanged, i.e., MPP=TPPn-
TPPn-1 or MPP= ΔTPP/ΔL. The MPP curve is generally inverted U-shape.
7.
Total physical
product (TPP) can also be derived from the MMP.TPP is the sum total of marginal
physical product corresponding to various units of the varaible inputs,i.e.,
TPP=MPP1+MPP2+……….+MPPn=∑MPP.TPP can also be
obtained as: TPP=APP x L.
8.
The total
physical product (TPP) changes with the change in the marginal physical product
(MMP) of an input.
9.
Ther is a
relationship between TPP and MPP:
(i)
When MPP prises,
TPP rises at an increasing rate,
(ii)
When MPP falls
but positive, TPP rises at decreasing rate
(iii)
When MPP is zero,
TPP is maximum and
(iv)
When MPP falls
but negative, TPP falls.
10.
There is also a
relationship between APP and MPP:
(i)
When APP rises,
MPP>APP
(ii)
When APP is
maximum, APP=MPP and
(iii)
When APP
declines, MPP
11.
Laws of returns
are studied under two heads:
(i)
Law of variable
proportions and
(ii)
Law of returns to
scale.
12.
Law of variable
proportions states that if we go on using more units of a variable factor (labour)
with a fixed factor (land), the total output initially increases at an
increasing at an increasing rate but beyond a certain point, it increases at a
diminishing rate and finally it falls.
13.
Law of variable
proportions can also be stated in terms of the behaviour of marginal product.
The law states that if we go on using more and more units of a variable factor
(labour) with a fixed factor (land), the marginal product initially increases
but beyond a certain point, it starts diminishing but remains positive and
finally it becomes negative.
14.
Ther are
generally three stages of law of variable proportions; (i) stage 1 (ii) stage 2
(iii) satge 3.
fig.1 law of variable proportions |
15.
In phase 1, TPP
increases at an increasing rate, MPP rises. In this phase, we get increasing
returns to a variable factor because greater use of the variable factor makes
it possible to utilise the fixed indivisible factors more fully and also to
introduce a greater degree of division of labour. In phase 2, TPP increases at
decreasing rate. It means MPP starts failing but remains positive. In the
second phase, we get diminishing returns to a factor because in this stage the
proportion between the variable factor and the fixed factor has crossed the
optimum proportion between them and a variable factor such as labour has less
and less fixed factor to work. In phase 3, TPP starts failing, MPP not only
continues to fall but also becomes negative. Phase 3 is also called phase of
negative returns in the third phase, the variable factor becomes too much
relative to fixed factor which obstructs the production process and as a result
there is a fall in total product.
16.
Law of diminishing
returns to a factor states that as we use more and more units of labour with
fixed quantity of land, the total production increases at a diminishing rate,
i.e., marginal product is diminishing.
17.
Returns to scale
to the behaiviour of output to change in all the factors of production in the
same proportion. There are three phases/stages of returns to scale (i) increasing
returns to scale, (ii) constant returns to scale and (iii) diminishing returns
to scale.
18.
Increasing returns
to scale means that a given percentage increase in all factor inputs causes
proportionately greater increase in output. They are due to internal economics
of scale.
19.
constant returns
to scale means that a given percentage increase in all factors inputs causes
equal percentage increase in output.
20.
Diminishing returns
to scale means that a given percentage increase in all factor inputs causes proportionately
less increase in output. They are due to internal dis economics of scale.
21.
The cobb-douglas
production function is given by Q=AKαLβ. It is to be
noted that the type of returns to scale of this function will depend on the
magnitude of α+β. If α+β=1, the production function exhibits constant returns
to scale. If α+β>1, it exhibits increasing returns to scale and if α+β<1 diminishing="" exhibits="" it="" o:p="" returns="" scale.="" to="">1>
22.
There is a
difference between returns to factor and returns to scale:
(i)
Returns to factor
apply when one factor alone is variable and other factors remain fixed, while
returns to scale apply when all factors of production are variable,
(ii)
Returns to factor
describes the behaviour of output to change in one factor alone whereas returns
to scale describes the behaivour of output to change in all the factors in the same
proportions,
(iii)
Returns to factor
relates to short period whereas returns to scale is concerned with long period.
