Correct Option: B
  • Marginal Product of the 2nd worker: The marginal product is the change in total product when one more worker is employed. In this case, the total product with 1 worker is 10, and with 2 workers is 32. So, the marginal product of the 2nd worker is 32 - 10 = 22.

  • Average Product of the 5th worker: The average product is the total product divided by the number of workers. With 5 workers, the total product is 95. Therefore, the average product of the 5th worker is 95 / 5 = 19.

Therefore, the marginal product of the 2nd worker and the average product of the 5th worker are 22
