Here the table and the diagram below shows the following relationship between MP and TP:

  • Till the third unit of variable factor, MP increases from 4 to 28 units and the TP increases for every additional unit. So long as MP is increasing, TP is increasing at increasing rate.
  • But when MP starts diminishing at the 4th unit of variable factor input and the TP increases only at a decreasing rate.
  • When 7th unit was applied, MP is zero, there is no addition to TP and TP is at maximum level.
  • When MP is negative, TP starts declining at the 8th unit. TP diminish from 84 to 80 and the MP is negative -4.
