Question

Lauren has 11 people working in her tangerine grove. The marginal product of the eleventh worker is 13 bushels of tangerines. If she hires a twelfth worker, the marginal product of that worker will be _____ bushels.

Answer 1

The answer cannot be determined with the available information .

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the marginal productivity of a worker, a formula called Marginal Product of Labor Formula.

Marginal Product of Labor Formula is the formula that is used to calculate the change in the level of the output of a company when there is an addition of a new employee in that company. The formula is given below:

Marginal Product of Labor = ΔTP / ΔL

where:

• ΔTP is change in total product/output

• ΔL is the change in labor

Hence, since we do not have the parameters needed to calculate the marginal product, we cannot determine the marginal product.
