Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The marginal product of the second worker is the additional output produced by the second worker, which is calculated by subtracting the total output with one worker (30 customers) from the total output with two workers (60 customers). Therefore, the marginal product of the second worker is 60 - 30 = 30 customers served per hour.
