Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

This statement is false. The total product will be maximized when marginal productivity is zero. Even if the firm continues to hire workers long after the one with the maximum marginal productivity the firm will still see an increase in overall productivity if the additional workers still have a positive marginal productivity.
