Answer:

Marginal product- 118 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The marginal product is the increase in total product as result of employing additional unit of a resource.

It is extra units of product achieved resulting from additional unit of a production resource

Marginal product = Change in total product/change in total unit of resource

= (328-210) units/(4-3) workers

= 118 units

Therefore, the last worker employed produced= 118 additional units
