Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Marginal Physical Product (MPP) of the fourth unit of labor is calculated by the change in output from the third to the fourth unit of labor. From the table, the output at 3 units of labor is 96 (since adding 30 to 66 gives 96), and at 4 units of labor is 116. Therefore, the MPP for the fourth unit is 116 - 96 = 20.
