Завдання13
Thethird factor of production is capital – the tools, equipment and factories usedin production of goods and services. It is a produced factor of production, adurable input which is itself an output of the economy. For example, we build atextile factory and use it to produce shirts, or assemble a computer and thenemploy it in educating students.
Asnoted earlier, such items are also called capital goods. This is to distinguishthem from financial capital, the money used to buy the tools and equipment usedin production.
Capitalis unique in that, it is the result of production. A bulldozer may be anexample of capital goods used in construction. At the same time, it wasmanufactured in a factory which makes it the result of earlier production.
Whenthe three inputs – land, labour and capital – are present, production or theprocess of creating goods and services, can takeplace. Even the production of the service called education requires the presenceof land, labour and capital.
Entrepreneurship,the managerial or organizational skills needed by most firms to produce goodsand services, is the fourth factor of production. The entrepreneur bringstogether the other three factors of production – land, labour and capital. Whenthey are successful, entrepreneurs earn profits, the return or reward for therisks, innovative ideas and efforts put into the business. When they are notsuccessful, they suffer losses.
Переклад
Третімфактором виробництва є капітал — інструменти, обладнання і фактори, щовикористовуються для виробництва товарів і послуг. Це виробничий фактор, тривалевикористання якого створює продукт економіки. Наприклад, ми будуємо текстильнуфабрику з метою виробництва сорочок, або збираємо комп’ютер, а потімвикористовуємо його для навчання студентів.
Наоснові цього можна сказати, що такі фактори ми називаємо виробничим капіталом. Цевідрізняє їх від фінансового капіталу, грошей, використаних для покупкиінструментів та обладнання, що використовуються у виробництві.
Капіталунікальний тим, що він є результатом виробництва. Бульдозер може бути прикладомвиробничого капіталу, що використовуються у виробництві. У той же час, він буввиготовлений на фабриці, що робить його результатом попереднього виробництва.
Колитри фактори — земля, праця і капітал використовуються, виникає процесвиробництва чи створення товарів та послуг. Навіть надання послуг вимагаєвикористання землі, праці і капіталу.
Підприємницькі,управлінські чи організаційні здібності є необхідними на більшостіпідприємствах для того щоб виробляти товари чи надавати послуги, і вони єчетвертим фактором виробництва. Підприємець об’єднує три фактори виробництва –землю, працю, капітал. Коли це поєднання є успішним, підприємці отримуютьприбуток, винагорода за ризик, інноваційні ідеї та зусилля, вкладені у бізнес.Коли це поєднання не є успішним, вони зазнають збитків.
