What is total product (total output) of the first two workers (Sajani and Kai)?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Total product means the total output produced when a specified number of workers are employed. For the first two workers we add the output contributed by Sajani and the output contributed by Kai.

Relevant concepts:
- Total product (TP) for n workers = sum of outputs (units produced) by each of those n workers.
- If individual outputs (or marginal products) are given for each worker, TP for the first two is simply their sum.

Step-by-step reasoning and calculation:
1. Identify individual outputs: Sajani produces 3 units and Kai produces 2 units. (These are the per-worker outputs used to compute total product for the first two workers.)
2. Add the two outputs to get total product:
   TP(2 workers) = output(Sajani) + output(Kai)
   TP(2) = 3 + 2
   TP(2) = 5

Why this is correct:
- The total product for two workers counts everything produced by both workers together. Adding 3 and 2 gives the total of 5 units, which matches the definition and calculation shown.

Why the other choices are incorrect:
- b. 3 would reflect only Sajani’s output alone, not the combined output of Sajani and Kai.
- c. 0 is incorrect because both workers produce positive output (3 and 2), so the sum cannot be zero.
- d. 2 would reflect only Kai’s output alone, not the combined output.

Conclusion:
Summing Sajani’s 3 units and Kai’s 2 units gives a total product of 5 for the first two workers. Therefore the correct answer is a. 5.
