Productivity in a Software Firm

A software development team of 10 programmers produces 50 new features for an application in a month. The company then doubles the team size to 20 programmers, keeping the number of computers and office space the same. With the larger team, the total output increases to 80 new features per month. Calculate the average product of labor (features per programmer) for both the initial and the larger team, and explain the economic principle that accounts for the change in average productivity.
