Question

An efficient working space for each salon professional is:

Select one:
a. Over 300 square feet
b. 50-75 square feet
c. 120-150 square feet
d. 200-300 square feet

Answer 1

The marginal product of the third painter is the additional area painted due to their efforts, which is 75 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question pertains to calculating the marginal product of a third painter when two painters can already paint 200 square feet of wall in an hour. When a third painter is added, the total productivity rises to 275 square feet per hour. The marginal product of the third painter is found by calculating the difference in productivity when the third painter is added. In this case, the marginal product is the additional 75 square feet that can be painted because of the third painter's efforts.
