Average physical product (APP), marginal physical product (MPP) In economics and in particular neoclassical economics, the marginal product or marginal physical productivity of an input (factor of production) is the change in output resulting from employing one more unit of a particular input (for instance, the change in output when a firm's labor is increased from five to six units), assuming ...
The marginal profit per unit of labor equals the marginal revenue product of labor minus the marginal cost of labor or M π L = MRP L − MC L A firm maximizes profits where M π L = 0. The marginal revenue product is the change in total revenue per unit change in the variable input assume labor. [10] That is, MRP L = ∆TR/∆L.
The marginal product of a factor of production is the change in output when that factor of production changes, holding constant all the other factors of production as well as the total factor productivity. The marginal product of capital, corresponds to the first derivative of the production function with respect to capital:
Graph of total, average, and marginal product In economics , a production function gives the technological relation between quantities of physical inputs and quantities of output of goods. The production function is one of the key concepts of mainstream neoclassical theories, used to define marginal product and to distinguish allocative ...
What is important to understand after this is the math behind marginal product. MP= ΔTP/ ΔL. [21] This formula is important to relate back to diminishing rates of return. It finds the change in total product divided by change in labour. The marginal product formula suggests that MP should increase in the short run with increased labour.

This is a theory that states that economic decisions are made in reference to incremental units at the margin, [2] and it further suggests that the decision on whether an individual or entity will obtain additional units of a good or service depends on the marginal utility of the product. [3] These marginal concepts are used to theorise various ...
