Partial productivity for labor = Output produced / Total labor input
From the given information, we have:
Total output = 120,000 tons
Total labor input = 8,520 worker hours
Partial productivity for labor = 120,000 / 8,520 = 14.06
Therefore, the best choice is C because it correctly calculates the partial productivity for labor.
