FACTORS OF PRODUCTION

•In economies, factors of production are inputs to the production process and the finished products are output.

•There are 3 basic factors of production: Land, Labor and Capital. Some modern economists also include entrepreneur as a factor of production.

LANDIn economies, the land comprise all

naturally occuring resources whose supply is inherently fixed. Land was sometimes defined in classical and neoclassical economics as the “original and indestructible powers of soil”.

Income derived from ownership of control of natural resources is referred to as rent.

LABORIn economics labor is the measure of the

work done by the humans. It is conventionally contrasted with such other factors of productions such as land and capital.

There are theories which have developed a concept called human capital.

CAPITAL

In economics, capital goods or capital assets are already produced durable goods. Capital is an input in the production functions.

Homes and personal autos are not usually defined as capital.

Capital is wealth but wealth is not capital.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Entrepreneur is a person who brings the other 3 factors of production together to form a new product or a new business.

He is a person who takes risk for the business.
