Question

Labor productivity is increased by all of the following except _______. Select all that apply.
Select all that apply:
an unskilled workforce
a larger number of employees
modern technology
higher marginal costs relative to production

Answer 1

Modern technololy will increase the MPL and APL so it will raise productivity. Labor productivity implies total output / total input. Large number of employees will reduce per worker output and APL so it will reduce productivity. An unskilled workforce will result in lower output so it will also reduce productivity. If marginal costs are increased, then it implies that marginal productivity has fallen

Hence select an unskilled workforce, a larger number of employees and higher marginal costs relative to production
