What are the values of marginal product and average product, when changes in labour from 3 to 4 with leads to changes in total product from 40 to 50?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Marginal product =ΔTPΔL=50−404−3=10= \frac{\Delta TP}{\Delta L} = \frac{50-40}{4-3} = 10. Average product at L=4L = 4 is TPL=504=12.5\frac{TP}{L} = \frac{50}{4} = 12.5. Hence MP =10= 10 and AP =12.5= 12.5.
