a. Suppose that businesses buy a total of $110 billion of the four resources (labor, land, capital, and entrepreneurial ability) from households. If households receive $64 billion in wages, $12 billion in rent, and $22 billion in interest, how much are households paid for providing entrepreneurial ability?

Enterprenural ability = $12 billion

Explanation:

Enterprenural ability can be defined as the human resource that gives the ability to combine other resources available to a business to create a product, make non routine decisions, innovate, and bear risks.

The main traits of an enterpreneur are research, focus, cash management, communication, and learning.

In the given instance a company buys four resources (labour, land, capital, and enterprenural ability) for $110 billion from households.

Enterprenural ability = Total spent - wages - rent - interest

Enterprenural ability = 110 billion - 64 billion - 12 billion - 22 billion

Enterprenural ability = $12 billion
