Homework Answers
5.Ans: decrease; increase
Explanation:
MP = change in total product / change in number of labor
AP = total product / number of labor
When MP is less than the AP , then the AP curve lies above the MP curve . It means , the average product of labor will decrease if another labor or worker is added.
When MP is greater than the AP , then the AP curve lies below the MP curve . It means , the average product of labor will increase if another labor or worker is added.
