Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total product of labour for eight workers can be calculated by adding the marginal product of the eighth worker to the total product of labour for seven workers. From the graph, the marginal product of the eighth worker is 24 kilograms, and the total product of labour for seven workers is 72 kilograms (the point where the marginal product of labour curve intersects the total product of labour curve). Thus, the total product of labour for eight workers is 72 + 24 = 96 kilograms. Therefore, the best choice is (C).
