The marginal product of labor for the third worker is calculated by subtracting the total product at two workers from the total product at three workers. From the table, at two workers the total product is 30 energy drinks, and at three workers, it is 70 energy drinks. Therefore, the marginal product for the third worker is $70 - 30 = 40$ units per period.
