Question
'Average Product can never be zero while Marginal Product can be'. Comment.
✓

Answer

MP can become zero when production does not increase with increase in the number of variable factor. On the other hand, AP can never be zero as it is calculated on the basis of TP and variable units of input. Both TP and variable units cannot be zero which makes it impossible for AP to be zero. Hence, it is clear that MP can be zero, but AP will never be zero.
