Answer to Question 1

Holding other factors such as capital constant, additional workers have increasing and then diminishing marginal returns. So, the marginal product of additional workers rises and then falls, even though remaining positive. As that happens, when the marginal product is greater than the average product, the average product is increasing. When the marginal product is less than the average product, the average product is decreasing. The average product equals the marginal product when the average product is at its maximum.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
