Write the formula for calculation of marginal product of labor ( MP L ) and average product of labor ( AP L ).
2Answer
The Marginal Product of Labor () and Average Product of Labor () are calculated as follows:
Marginal Product of Labor () measures the additional output produced by employing one more unit of labor, holding other inputs constant. Its formula is:
where:
- = Change in total output (quantity produced)
- = Change in labor units (workers)
Average Product of Labor () measures the output per unit of labor employed. Its formula is:
where:
- = Total output (quantity produced)
- = Total labor units (workers) employed
Both metrics are crucial for analyzing labor productivity and optimizing resource allocation in production.
