Jordan, 

 

 When it comes to total production it refers to the total output of workers which may be the addition of workers.

 

 Since we have have an increase in productivity and a probable increase in workers that may be delegated to specialized positions or otherwise making the business more efficient and profitable. Therefore, as this is increasing then marginal product will also increase.
