Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The marginal product of the sixth worker is the additional unit of output produced by adding the sixth worker. From the table, we can see that the fifth worker produced 15 additional units of output (from 150 to 165), while the sixth worker produced 15 additional units of output as well (from 165 to 180). Therefore, the marginal product of the sixth worker is also 15 units of output.
