Which of these counts as capital in the list of factors of production?

AThe bank loan taken to buy a new delivery van
BThe machinery installed on the factory floor
CThe skill of the technician running a machine
DThe iron ore dug out of a mine for smelting
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. The machinery installed on the factory floor
1. Capital is the tools, machinery, equipment and buildings used to produce goods and services and move them to the consumer. 2. Machinery on the factory floor is exactly that, so it is capital. 3. A bank loan is money, and money is not one of the basic inputs. 4. The skill of a technician is labor, and iron ore in its natural state is a natural resource. _Source: OpenStax Introduction to Business (CC BY 4.0), Ch 1 "Understanding Economic Systems and Business", section 1.1 The Nature of Business_
