14. Using the table at right, the total product and average product when 3 workers are employed are
- Total product: 10 units
- Average product: 10 units per worker
Thant doesn't make any sense. How both total and average product equal 10?
Apologies for the confusion. It seems there may be some missing information or errors in the table you provided. Without a complete set of data, it is difficult to determine the accurate values for total product and average product when 3 workers are employed. Could you please provide more information or clarify any missing or incorrect data?
Labor: 1,2,3,4,5
Output: 10,X ,X ,52,X
Average physical product: X,12,X,X,X
Marginal product:--,X,15,X,9
Using the table at right, the total product and average product when 3 workers are employed are
Based on the provided information, when 3 workers are employed, the total product is 52 units. However, the average product cannot be determined as there is no information for the output when exactly 3 workers are employed.
The answer are total product=39 and average product=13.
How do I get to those answer?
Apologies for the confusion. To determine the total product and average product when 3 workers are employed, we can refer to the provided information:
From the given table:
Labor: 1,2,3,4,5
Output: 10,X ,X ,52,X
Average physical product: X,12,X,X,X
Marginal product:--,X,15,X,9
To find the total product when 3 workers are employed, we need to find the output corresponding to 3 workers. Since there is no direct information given for the output when exactly 3 workers are employed, we can make an assumption based on the pattern of the given data.
From the information given:
Labor: 1,2,3,4,5
Output: 10,X ,X ,52,X
We see that when there is an increase in labor from 2 to 3 workers, the output increases significantly from "X" (unknown value) to 52 units. This indicates that the addition of the 3rd worker greatly contributes to the increase in output. Therefore, we can assume that the output when 3 workers are employed is equal to 52 units.
Thus, the total product when 3 workers are employed is 52 units.
To calculate the average product when 3 workers are employed, we divide the total product by the number of workers (3).
Average product = Total product / Number of workers
Average product = 52 units / 3 workers
Average product ≈ 17.33 units per worker (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, the total product when 3 workers are employed is 52 units, and the average product is approximately 17.33 units per worker.
52 is for the 4 worker not the 3 worker.
Apologies for the mistake. You are correct. According to the table provided, the output for 4 workers is 52 units.
To find the total product and average product when 3 workers are employed, we need to use the information given in the table:
Labor: 1,2,3,4,5
Output: 10,X ,X ,52,X
Average physical product: X,12,X,X,X
Marginal product:--,X,15,X,9
Since we are looking for the values when 3 workers are employed, we need to find the corresponding data for that labor input.
From the provided table, we can see that the marginal product for 2 workers is given, which is 12 units. This means that the additional output from adding a second worker is 12 units.
To find the total product when 3 workers are employed, we can calculate the total output up to 3 workers:
Total product = Output for 2 workers + Marginal product for 3rd worker
Total product = 10 units + 15 units = 25 units
To find the average product when 3 workers are employed, we divide the total product by the number of workers (3).
Average product = Total product / Number of workers
Average product = 25 units / 3 workers
Average product ≈ 8.33 units per worker (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, the total product when 3 workers are employed is 25 units, and the average product is approximately 8.33 units per worker.
To determine the total product and average product when 3 workers are employed, we need to refer to the given table.
Total product refers to the total output generated by a certain number of workers. In this case, when 3 workers are employed, the total product is not explicitly stated in the table. However, we can deduce it by looking at the output values associated with 3 workers. From the table, we can see that when 3 workers are employed, the output remains constant at 10 units. Therefore, the total product when 3 workers are employed is 10 units.
Average product refers to the output per worker. It is calculated by dividing the total product by the number of workers. In this case, the number of workers is 3, and we have already determined that the total product is 10 units. Therefore, to calculate the average product, we divide 10 units by 3 workers, which gives us an average product of approximately 3.33 units.
So, when 3 workers are employed, the total product is 10 units, and the average product is approximately 3.33 units.
