Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The average product of labor is calculated by dividing the total output by the number of workers. Without the specific numbers from Table 7.2, a general approach is used: if the orchard employs 5 workers and the average product of labor is being asked, it means we're looking for the output per worker. The correct answer, 54 bushels, suggests that when the total output is divided by 5 (the number of workers), the result is 54. This means the total output with 5 workers would be 270 bushels (54 bushels/worker * 5 workers = 270 bushels).
