Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The average product of labor (APL) is calculated by dividing the total output (in metrics) by the number of workers hired.

When 5 workers are hired, the total output is 54. Therefore, the APL is:

APL = Total output / Number of workers
APL = 54 / 5
APL = 10.8

Therefore, the best choice is B) 10.8 metrics.
