Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The marginal physical product of the second unit of labor is the additional output produced by the second unit of labor, calculated as the difference in output between the second and first units of labor. From the table, the output for 2 units of labor is 35 and for 1 unit of labor is 15. Therefore, the marginal physical product for the second unit of labor is 35 - 15 = 20.
