Question
Which stage of the Law of Variable proportions will be the best for the producer? Explain with a reason.
Solution
The producer will take the decision of his operation, among these three stages, through the process of elimination. Stage III will be eliminated as MP< 0. If the producer operates at any point in stage I before it ends, he won’t be able to enjoy the full advantage of maximum productivity as AP is continuously rising over the entire stage. Therefore, a rational producer will operate only in stage II.
