If you have the average production function: AP, the function of marginal product of labour; MP, 5 + 0.2L, cL = 0.51L, 3L = 0.05L.

Let L represent the number of workers hired by the firm, and let Q represent that firm's quantity of output. Assume two points on the firm's production function are (L = 12, Q = 122) and (L = 13, Q = 130). Then the marginal product of the 13th worker is 10 units of output.
