Increasing and Diminishing Returns

Concept of Increasing And Diminishing Returns in the context of Real Property

A short definition of Increasing And Diminishing Returns: An economic theory that an increase in capital or manpower will not increase production proportionately (five workers may do less than five times the work of one worker; and two workers may do more than twice the work of one worker). When the increase in production is proportionately greater than the addition, there is an increasing return; when production is proportionately less than the addition, the return diminishes.
