Portuguese term or phrase: lei dos custos relativos crescentes
A frase completa é um tópico:

"2.4 - Lei dos rendimentos decrescentes e lei dos custos relativos crescentes."

A primeira parte da frase já traduzi para: Law of diminishing returns,
mas a 2ª parte da frase - não encontro.

Alguém me saberá ajudar?? Tenho uma certa urgência.... :)

Muitíssimo obrigada!

the law of diminishing returns


Explanation:
The law of diminishing returns (also law of diminishing marginal returns or law of increasing relative cost) states that in all productive processes, adding more of one factor of production, while holding all others constant, will at some point yield lower per-unit returns.[1] HIH
