What is the average product of labor AP Subscript Upper L​, holding capital fixed at ModifyingAbove Upper K with caret​? A. AP Subscript Upper Lequalsq divided by Upper L. B. AP Subscript Upper LequalsUpper L Superscript negative 0.50ModifyingAbove Upper K with caret Superscript 0.50. C. AP Subscript Upper Lequals0.50Upper L Superscript negative 0.50ModifyingAbove Upper K with caret Superscript 0.50. D. Both a and b. E. All of the above.

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Both a and b

Explanation:

The average product of worker is a term of economy in which we identify the output per worker. This function enables to understand the output by each worker. The function can be written as

AP q/L

Where q is output and L is number of worker.

It enables to understand the average product of output over the input. The average product is useful to identify the production at specific level of input. This is a common measure for labor productivity.
