For completing this table, we include one more column, Total Product (TP).
For the $1^{\text {st }}$ unit of labour, AP is given as 8 , so, $TP = AP \times$ no. of units $=8 \times 1=8$. For the $1^{\text {st }}$ unit of labour, MP will also be 8 .
For the $2^{\text {nd }}$ unit of labour, AP is given as 10 , so $TP = AP \times$ no. of units $=10 \times 2=20$. $MP = TR$ of $2^{\text {nd }}$ unit - TR of $1^{\text {st }}$ unit $=20-8=12$.
For the $3^{\text {rd }}$ unit of labour, MP is given as 10 , so $TP = TP$ of $2^{\text {nd }}$ unit $+10=20+10=30$. AP $= TP / No$. of units $=30 / 3=10$.
For the $4^{\text {th }}$ unit of labour, AP is given as 9 , so TP $= AP \times$ No. of units $=9 \times 4=36 . MP =$ TP of $4^{\text {th }}$ unit - TP of 3 rd unit $=36-30=6$.
For the $5^{\text {th }}$ unit of labour, MP is given as 4 , so TP will be TP of $4^{\text {th }}$ unit $+4=36+4=40$. $AP = TP / No$. of units $=40 / 5=8$.
For the $6^{\text {th }}$ unit of labour, AP is given as 7 , so TP $= AP \times$ No. of units $=7 \times 6=42 . MP =$ TP of $6^{\text {th }}$ unit - TP of $5^{\text {th }}$ unit $=42-40=2$.

A team comprising of three people is working on a big project, which involves data entry, with subsequent processing of this data and making a poster presentation.
Obviously each member of the team has different abilities in performing each task. Accordingly, Rhythm can make 1 poster or 400 data entries in a day. Hard-working Smith can make 2 posters or 1,200 data entries in a day. Stephen can make 3 posters or 900 data entries in a day.

(i) Initially if the entire team works on data entry, how many entries can be made in a day?
(ii) Eventually you wish to shift one member to the task of poster making whom would you shift and why?
(iii) Reassigning team members from data entry to making posters implies what about the shape of PPC?
