What are the "factors" of production? Companies or corporations (firms) often own the factories or means of production. Sometimes it's an individual or a family. It depends on your definition of "factors".
That is why I am confused...
What does your text say? That's all you have to go on. "Factors" can mean not only the means of production (manufacturing, etc.) but natural resources (mining, oil drilling, etc.), labor, and other factors.
Okay, I'll hit the books again....thanks for the help Reed :)
