The Marginal product curve is hump-shaped and the marginal cost curve is U-shaped because these two move in opposite directions to each other.
If the marginal cost is decreasing therefore, the marginal product must be increasing. If the marginal cost is decreasing and the marginal product is increasing, average variable cost will have to fall because every additional unit produced incurs less cost so the average has to fall as well.

Thus, in order to act ethically, this firm should implement process improvements to minimize the exposure of employees to chemical agents and to inhibit the exploitation of the labor that occurs when employees work in excess and without being paid for overtime.
