Hi All,

Does anyone know how the solution to this question is reached? Please see below:

Q13 Sept 21

Given the following data, at what levels of employment are the average physical product and marginal physical products of labour at a maximum?



Labour Output
(units per day) (units per day)
0 0
1 5
2 14
3 22
4 28
5 33

The correct answer is: Average physical product at 5 units of labour and marginal physical product at 4 units of labour.

Yet I'm struggling to see how we arrive at this answer!

Many thanks
 
Hi,
Been through this paper recently. I believe the answer is actually B with
Average physical product at 3 units of labour and marginal physical product at 2 units of labour.
You may have misread?
