Factors of Production Factors of production are resources necessary to produce goods and services. There are four factors of production. The factors of production include natural resources‚ labor‚ capital‚ and entrepreneur. These factors of production are very important to our economy. Firstly‚ natural resources are “gifts of nature” that make production possible. One example of a natural resource is a tree to produce paper. Natural resources include actual surface land and water. They also

The Five Factors of Production This paper will discuss the factors of production. Four factors‚ land‚ labor‚ capital‚ and entrepreneurship‚ are commonly recognized. However research has shown that a fifth factor‚ technology should be added and is becoming more important in today ’s economy and almost overshadowing the previous four factors of production. Land in production represents the natural materials used in production of goods and services. It provides the raw materials and resources that

Questionnaire Liberty University Abstract The Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF)‚ Fifth Edition was released in 1993 and is designed to measure normal personality traits in adults ages 16 and older. Dr. Raymond Cattell published the first edition of the 16PF in 1949 after extensive research using factor analysis techniques. The 16PF measures 16 primary personality factors and five global personality factors. Available in a wide variety of languages worldwide‚ the 16PF is recommended

in a circuit‚ the phase difference or angle (θ) is form between the voltage and the current vector. Figure1 below shows the typical vector diagram of AC voltage and current. This angle (θ) is called the power factor angle and the cosine of this angle is called the power factor. Power factor may be defined also as the ratio of the real power to the apparent power whose value lies between 0 and 1 and it is dimensionless quantity.
