Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The average product of labor is calculated by dividing the total output (in bushels) by the number of workers employed. When 5 workers are employed, the total output is 270 bushels (from the "Total Product" column). Therefore, the average product of labor is 270 bushels/5 workers, which equals 54 bushels per worker. Thus, option B is correct.
