In the short run, the only variable input which company x hires is labor. When increasing the amount of labor hired from. 80 units to 81, output increases from 1,200 units to 1,210 units. If the production process of this firm is such that the marginal product of labor is diminishing, then _______ units of output would be produced if 82 units of labor were hired. more than 1,210 but fewer than 1,220.
