Trent · Answer 1

The smaller factory will face diminishing returns first.

Explanation:

The smaller factory will most likely have fewer resources as compared to the larger one. The amount of capital will also be comparatively lower. It will also be producing a lower output.

So, when the number of workers in both the factories has increased the workers in the smaller factory will need to operate with less capital. So, they are likely to face diminishing returns first.
