Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The marginal product of the seventh employee is calculated by the increase in output (spoilers repaired per day) due to hiring the additional employee. With 6 employees, the shop repairs 9 spoilers per day, and with 7 employees, it repairs 12 spoilers per day. The increase, therefore, is 12 - 9 = 3 spoilers. Thus, the marginal product of the seventh employee is 3 car spoilers.
