The marginal product of the 15th unit of capital is less than the marginal product of the 10th unit, which means that the additional output produced by adding the 15th unit of capital is smaller than the additional output produced by adding the 10th unit of capital. Therefore, it is not the best choice to add the 15th unit of capital.
