Answer:

Explanation:

A vending machine is a machine that provides items which includes snacks, beverages, lottery tickets etc to consumers after cash, or a credit card is inserted into the machine. In addition, they are usually automated.

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer: D. Longhorn owns the inventory and should report it on its balance sheet.

Explanation:

Goods to be sold on consignment for a company means a company is selling goods for another company and will be paid for their services.

In that case, the company being sold for will retain the ownership of the goods because the company that is selling it for them is simply providing a service.

How the 4 factors of pruduction fit together land,capital,labor,entreprenurship​
Mrrafil [7]

Explanation:

To understand the basic philosophy behind the four factors of production

Land - Labor - Capital - Entrepreneurship

Lets consider an example:

Someday, just finishing your college, you think of starting a pizza business and you start selling pizza's one day. You might end up making a Pizza brand like Pizza Hut.

Here, in this example, to start your pizza shop, you need a place or area, this is known as Land factor. When you start making pizza, you need someone to work in that shop, (or if you doing it by yourself too) there should be at least some human being doing it, this factor is referred as Labor. To start the pizza shop, you need to buy the equipment, taking a shop on rent, or buying it, renovation of the shop etc. All of these things need, of course, Money, which is referred as Capital here. The idea you going to start this business, the courage to make it, definitely makes you an Entrepreneur, in utilizing all other factors effectively and efficiently. Therefore, this is linkage between these four factors of production, and how they fit together.
