Quiz Description

Here in this economics quiz, we shall study production according to the Advanced level standards of education. Under this topic, we will broaden our knowledge on the law of diminishing returns, the factors of production, the cost of production, the law of variable proportion, investments, etc. You should try this quiz.

Production refers to the process of combining both material inputs, and immaterial inputs (know-how) in order to make something (good or service) for consumption. There exist 4 factors of production which are: land, labor, capital, and entrepreneur. Land as a factor of production can take several forms such as agricultural land, commercial real estate, or natural resources like gold and oil can be extracted from land. Labor refers to the physical efforts or work done by individuals to bring a product or service to the market. Capital on the other hand is money. But money isn’t a factor of production because it is not directly involved in the production process. Finally, entrepreneurship is what combines all the other factors of production into a product or service for the consumer market.

Having gone through a brief introduction of what this quiz is all about, I think it’s time to get to work. Answer the quiz correctly and make yourself proud. Good luck.
