Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When employees are assigned specialized tasks, they can develop expertise and efficiency in performing those tasks, leading to an increase in the marginal product of labor. In contrast, if all workers do the same tasks, adding more workers may lead to crowding and reduced productivity, resulting in a flatter or diminishing marginal product of labor curve. Wage differentials may also affect labor productivity, but it is not the only or necessary condition for marginal product to increase with more workers. The production of commodities is a given for any firm and does not affect the relationship between labor input and output.
