The value of marginal product of labor (VMPL) is calculated as the marginal product of labor (MPL) times the price of the output. For the third worker, the MPL is the additional output produced by the third worker. Without the specific numbers from the table, we can't calculate the exact MPL, but if we assume the third worker increases output such that the VMPL is $48 and knowing Joe charges $6 per haircut, this implies the third worker must have contributed 8 additional haircuts ($48 / $6 per haircut = 8 haircuts). Thus, the correct answer based on the given information and typical calculation method for VMPL would be $48.
