2. Welcome
Theory of Production

4. Theory of Production
Production is a process that create/adds value or
utility
It is the process in which the inputs are converted in
to outputs.

5. Production Function
Production function means the functional relationship
between inputs and outputs in the process of
production.
It is a technical relation which connects factors inputs
used in the production function and the level of
outputs
Q = f (Land, Labour, Capital, Organization,technology, etc)

6. Factors of Production

7. Land
Meaning : according to Marshall , land stands for
all natural resources which yield an income
Characteristics : *nature’s gift
*limited
*no supply price
*permanent
*lacks of mobility
*margin of cultivation

8. Land
What Raw materials are needed to produce your product?
The “gifts of nature” that we use to produce goods and services. All
the things we call natural resources.
Comes from the air, water, or the earth
Land, minerals, water
•Renewable
Water, air growing things
•Non-Renewable
Coal, oil
HOW ARE GOODS PRODUCED?

9. Nature supplies raw materials necessary to
make things
These raw materials are called Natural
Resources
Natural Resources
–Example: Chicken
noodle soup contains
chicken meat, spices,
water, and vegetables, all
of which came from the
nature

10. Figure 2.5 shows how long
the known reserves of
nonrenewable energy
resources will last at the
current growth rates of
use.
New reserves are
constantly being
discovered.
HOW ARE GOODS PRODUCED?

11. Labour
Meaning : work whether manual or mental , which
is undertaken for a monetary consideration …..
Meaning in sense of Marshall words..
• Characteristics :
* connected with labourer
* can’t preserve
* has weak bargaining power
* price of labour react rather
curiously on its supply

12. Labor
• What will your employees have to do to create your
product?
• What work will need to be done to turn your raw
material into your finished product
 Work time and work effort that people devote to
producing goods and services
• People’s efforts, labor
• Effort can be physical or mental
HOW ARE GOODS PRODUCED?

13. Human effort used to produce goods and
services is called labor
Labor can be physical or mental
Factor 2: Human Labor
•Example: to the soup, farmers raise the
animals and crops, a truck driver drives
them to a factory, and workers operate
machinery to mix and can it
(physical labor)
•Someone has to design the machines,
and think of a recipe for the soup
(mental labor)

14. Oil Consumption by Country

15. HOW ARE GOODS PRODUCED?

16. HOW ARE GOODS PRODUCED?

17. Capital
Meaning : wealth which is used in producing
further wealth
Term used for : plant and machinery , tools and
accessories , stocks and row material …..
Importance :
 role in modern productive system
 production is not possible without capital
 creation of employment opportunities in the
country

18. Capital
 What equipment and people will you need to create
your product
 Physical capital: What tools, machines and factories will you
needed to create your product
 Financial capital: funds the firm use to buy physical capital
 Human capital: What knowledge, skills, education and
experience will your employees need to have in order to produce
your product (for example: a seamstress , a chemist, a computer
technician )
• Goods made by people and used to produce other goods and services
• Tools, instruments, machines, buildings, and other constructions that have been
produced in the past and that businesses now use to produce goods and services.
HOW ARE GOODS PRODUCED?

19. Producing goods and services requires
tools and equipment
The buildings, machines, supplies, etc.
used to produce are called capital
resources, or capital goods
Factor 3: Capital Resources
•Examples: the truck used
to drive to the factory, the
machines used to can the
soup, and the factory
building itself

20. HOW ARE GOODS PRODUCED?
• Figure 2.7
shows
measures of
human
capital and
how they
have changed
since 1910.

21. Entrepreneur
What he /s do ???
 Co-ordinate and co-relate the other factors of
production.
Starts the work @ organize it @ supervise it.
• Functions :
 commence a business enterprise by developing new
product or by modifying the existing product.
 took the final responsibility .
 as innovator .

22. Entrepreneurship
 The human resource that organized and combines labor,
land, capital.
 The quantity and quality of entrepreneurship is hard to
describe and measure.
 But we can easily recognize brilliant entrepreneurs by
their enormous financial success.
 Sam Walton (Wal-Mart), Bill Gates (Microsoft), and
Michael Dell (Dell Computers) are examples of
outstanding entrepreneur's.
HOW ARE GOODS PRODUCED?

23. Making the other 3 factors of production into
something useful often takes creativity and
some risk
Entrepreneurship is the factor of production
that ties the others together
Entrepreneurship:
The 4th
Factor
•Examples: Someone has
to decide what to name the
soup, where to sell it, and
how much to charge

24. Scarcity- Nearly all resources are scare, meaning
there is a limited supply available to meet
unlimited wants
 The more scarce a resource, the more expensive
it is.
 Inverse Economic Relationship – when fruit
is out of season, supply is more scarce –
 This causes the price to increase because it is
more valuable
Influences on Entrepreneurs
Decision Making

25. Opportunity Cost – resources are
scare, the choice to use a resource in
one way means not using it in another.
Use a field to grow corn means the
field cannot be used to grow soy beans
Influences on Entrepreneurs
Decision Making

26. Productivity- is a measure of the amount of output
produced by a given amount of inputs. It reflects how
efficiently resources are being used.
This is also referred to as measuring the efficient use
of the factors of production.
 For example, the productivity of a farmer (labor)
increases with the use of a tractor (capital).
 Investing in human capital is one way to increase
productivity
Influences on Entrepreneurs
Decision Making

27. Influences on Entrepreneurs
Decision Making
To realize a profit, produce good/service at a cost
lower than the market price for the good or service.
Profit is the money left over from selling a good or
service after the cost of buying productive
resources have been paid.
 Minimize the use of scarce resource in production
 Maximize the productivity of the factors used in
production to keep cost as low as possible.

28. In order to study economic relationships, we need a sensible way to
categorize the various things in our economic world. Take a look at
this list of things that have value. Which of them would you place in
the category of LABOR? Which are LAND? Which are CAPITAL? Are
there some that don't fit in any of the three?
Some Things that Have Value:
Food in a Restaurant
Oil in the Ground
Your Mom's old House, which
you Rent to Tenants
Fish in the Ocean
Teaching
A Building Site
Food on your table
A $100 Bill
A House You Live in
A Truck
A Broadcast Frequency
Ditch Digging
Computer Programming
A Certificate for 100
Shares of Microsoft
Playing Music in the
Subway
