Zorluk: OrtaFactors of Production and Their Rewards

A commercial farmer in Enugu State attempts to relocate his agricultural enterprise to Kaduna State. While he successfully transfers his tractors, financial capital, and hired farm workers, he finds it impossible to move the 50 hectares of farmland to the new location. Which characteristic of land as a factor of production does this situation demonstrate?

  1. Complete geographical immobilityCevap
  2. B
    Complete occupational immobility
  3. C
    Elastic supply in response to location demand
  4. D
    Variable cost structure across geographical regions

Cevap

The scenario demonstrates that land possesses complete geographical immobility.
The correct answer highlights complete geographical immobility. Land is a natural resource whose physical position on the Earth's surface is fixed. Unlike human labour, machinery (capital), or entrepreneurial skill, land cannot be physically transported from one state or region to another.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the factor of production being evaluated
The 50 hectares of farmland represents the factor of production known as 'Land'.
Land encompasses all natural resources provided by nature used in production.
2
Analyze the physical constraint described in the stem
Tractors (capital) and hired farm workers (labour) can be relocated, but the physical plot of ground cannot be moved.
Geographical mobility refers to the ease with which a factor of production can be moved physically from one geographical site to another.
3
Differentiate between geographical and occupational mobility for land
Land is geographically immobile because its geographical location is fixed by nature, even though it can be occupationally mobile (used for agriculture, housing, or industry).
Distinguishing physical location constraints from alternative economic uses is key to understanding land characteristics.
