"Diminishing marginal product is a basic law because new workers are always less qualified than the existing workers." Do you agree or disagree? Explain

What will be an ideal response?

Ans:
Disagree. Diminishing marginal product occurs not because workers are less qualified but because, given fixed some factors of production, each worker will have, on average, fewer of the fixed factors of production to utilize. Output per worker can be raised by increasing those fixed factors of production.
