Answer to Question 1

The total product function would be upward-sloping and would be increasing at an increasing rate. In other words, the slope would keep getting progressively steeper as more labor is added. That doesn't seem plausible in the real world because what we generally see is either constant marginal product or diminishing marginal product.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
