Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total product by the second worker is the difference between the total product of two workers and the total product of one worker. 
From the table, we have: 
Total product of 1 worker = 100 units 
Total product of 2 workers = (100 + Total marginal product of the 2nd worker) = (100 + 95) = 195 units 
Therefore, the total product by the second worker is 195 - 100 = 95 units. 
Thus, the correct answer is B) 100 units.
