The saying “too many cooks in the kitchen can spoil the stew” can be used to describe the concept of diminishing marginal product.  Explain how this statement reflects diminishing marginal product considering the inputs and outputs of a commercial kitchen.  Which inputs are variable and which are fixed? Why is this concept related to the short-run?  What differentiates the short run from the long run?
