    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?
