The marginal product of the 4th worker is the additional output produced by the 4th worker. If the total output with 3 workers is X bushels and with 4 workers is Y bushels, then the marginal product is Y - X. The correct answer is 50 bushels, which is the difference in output when the 4th worker is added.
