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

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks for the total product (total output) of the first two workers, Sajani and Kai.

First, note that to compute total product for two workers, you add together the outputs produced by each worker when both are employed, i.e., TP = output of Sajani + output of Kai.

However, the provided data does not include any numeric outputs for Sajani or Kai. Without those production quantities, it is impossible to calculate the total product.

What you would typically do if the data were available: identify Sajani's output (S) and Kai's output (K) from the production table or dataset, and compute TP = S + K. If the problem instead provides a combined total when both work and a separate value for one of them, you adjust accordingly using TP = total with both − output of the other, etc.

Common misunderstandings to avoid:
- Confusing total product with marginal product. The marginal product of the second worker is the additional output produced by adding Kai, not the sum of both workers' outputs.
- Assuming a fixed number without data. If the question asks for the total product of the first two workers but only provides the total output with both workers and one worker’s output, you must subtract to isolate the other worker’s contribution.

Regarding the answer options: there are no answer options listed here, even though the answer field shows 'a. 5'. Without a numeric basis for Sajani’s and Kai’s outputs, selecting or evaluating an option is not possible.

To move forward, please provide the outputs attributed to Sajani and Kai (or any table that shows their contributions), and I can compute the precise total product for the first two workers.
