Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The marginal product of the fifth worker is the additional output produced by the fifth worker compared to the fourth worker. Without the specific numbers from Table 7-2, the correct answer cannot be determined from the provided options. However, based on the choices given, if we assume a typical scenario where each worker's contribution is being assessed, the marginal product would be the difference in total output after hiring one more worker. Since the specific table data is not provided, this explanation is based on the general concept of marginal product in economics.
