    has anyone notice for the marginal product in doing my calculation instead of 18 i get 14 and instead of 8 i arrived at 6 unit....when u cal 336-322/8-7=14 and not 18 and even when u cal it the long way i would still get 14 units. (336-322)/8/(8-7)=14, likewise (342-336)/(9-8)=6 and not 8 unit..so please help me out here someone..

    With total product, are those figures usually given? I was recently given an exercise where we were only given the amount of labor and the columns for total product, average product, and marginal product were blank. How would you suggest completing such an exercise where the only thing given is the amount of labor? Thanks!

    Marginal product (MP) and average product (AP) will be equal only if total product is not changing. Typical MP and AP do not equal each other.

    Diminishing marginal returns sets in when slope of the marginal product line equals zero and after that marginal product is negative. I would encourage you to watch the entire playlist (there are only three videos). You should even try to watch the calculus proof.
    I included a link to the playlist in the video description.

    @kashifatif1 11 років тому

    When you say slope of a curve for a particular value of labour is the marginal product, are you not confusing the nature of the data you work with, i.e discrete (which is the data used for production, and hence the need for average rate of change between successive units of labour) rather than continuous (instantaneous change)?
