A student looks at the data in the table to the right and draws this conclusion:
"The marginal product of labor is increasing for the first 3 workers hired, and then it declines for the next 3 workers. I guess each of the first 3 workers must have been hard workers. Then Jill must have had to settle for increasingly poor workers."
Do you agree with the student's analysis? Briefly explain.
A. No. Marginal product initially increases due to specialization and then decreases due to division of labor.
B. Yes. Productivity differences among these workers are due to effort.
C. No. Marginal product initially decreases due to the law of diminishing returns and then increases due to division of labor.
D. No. Marginal product initially increases due to division of labor and then decreases due to the law of diminishing returns.
E. No. Marginal product initially increases due to division of labor and then decreases due to specialization.
