1. Why is productivity in the use of variable input most optimal in the 1st stage of the total product compared to the 2nd stage?
R. Because in the 1st stage, there is a greater yield of total product due to the use of variable inputs. This rise is due to production increases, allowing competition in the market. In the 2nd stage, production continues to grow, but demonstrated activities do not show the same advantage as in the 1st.
2. Why does total productivity decrease in the 2nd stage compared
