The marginal product of the 5th unit of capital is
- 42
- 85
- 144
-
213
The correct answer is: D
Explanation
marginal product is calculated as the change in the total number of units produced divided by the change in a single variable input.
change in the total number of units = 425 - 212 = 213
Change in single variable unit = 5 - 4 = 1
The marginal product of the 5th unit of capital = \(\frac{213}{1}\) = 213
