Which of the following statements must be true? The marginal product of the 8th worker is negative. The marginal product of the 8th worker is less than the average product of labor before the 8th worker was hired. Suzie's profits would be greater if she did not hire the 8th worker. The average product of labor is negative. Question 14 Which of the following statements is true? The average product of labor is at its maximum when the average product of labor equals the marginal product of labor. The average product of labor is at its minimum when the average product of labor equals the marginal product of labor. The average product of labor tells us how much output changes as the quantity of workers hired changes.
