Can a firm experience diminishing returns in the long run?

What will be an ideal response?


No. A firm will never experience diminishing returns in the long run because in the long run all inputs are allowed to vary. Diminishing returns occur when the marginal product decreases because a variable input is increased while at least one other variable is held constant.
