Question (English)

Which of the following pair (factor of production and its reward) is NOT correctly matched?

  1. Labour: Labourer ✓ Correct
  2. Land: Rent
  3. Capital: Interest
  4. Enterprise: Profit
Explanation:
Correct Answer: Labour: Labourer (this is INCORRECT — hence the right answer to this question)

The reward for Labour is Wages, NOT 'Labourer'. 'Labourer' is the person who provides labour, not the reward for it. This makes 'Labour: Labourer' the incorrectly matched pair.

Correct Factor–Reward Pairs
  • Land → Rent
  • Labour → Wages (NOT 'Labourer')
  • Capital → Interest
  • Enterprise → Profit
Memory Aid
  • Land-LORD collects RENT → Land: Rent
  • LABOUR gets WAGES (salary) → Labour: Wages
  • CAPITAL in bank earns INTEREST → Capital: Interest
  • ENTREPRENEUR/ENTERPRISE earns PROFIT → Enterprise: Profit
