The marginal product of labor is calculated by taking the difference between the total product of two consecutive units of labor. In this case, the marginal product of the first worker is calculated as follows:
Marginal product of first worker = Total product of 2 workers – Total product of 1 worker
= 450 – 250
= 200 units
Therefore, the best choice is answer choice B.
