Case Study

Farm Labor Productivity Analysis

A farm manager is analyzing their wheat production. Currently, 5 workers produce a total of 550 bushels per day. The manager projects that hiring a 6th worker would increase the total output to 630 bushels per day. Based solely on an analysis of the average product of labor, would you advise the manager to hire the 6th worker? Justify your decision by calculating and comparing the average product before and after the potential hire.
