Question 1 Report

A firm that makes ceramic mugs is planning to increase its scale of production. The owner must choose how to use available finance while keeping costs under control. Which one of the following would be classified as a capital factor of production for this firm?

A a new electric kiln
B clay used to make the mugs
C weekly wages paid to workers
D profit earned from sales in the market [1]

Answer Details

A new electric kiln is the correct choice. It is capital: a man-made asset used repeatedly in production to make ceramic mugs. [1]

Clay is a raw material, so it is not capital in this classification. Wages are payment for labour, and profit is income earned after costs rather than a factor of production.
