    Non-tangible factors: patents, goodwill, installation costs, brand, services, reputation, job, know-how, expertise, collaboration and dissemination of the product.
    Factors durable: machinery, equipment, labor camps, mark.
    Factors nondurable: raw materials, labor, and skills.

    B) The production factors of the honey factory are:
    Tangible factors: buildings, honey, jars, machinery, equipment, bees, land, crates of bees, wax, workers and the labels of the cans.
    Non-tangible factors: patents, goodwill, installation costs, brand, job, reputation, expertise, knowledge, the synergy between the workers and the disclosure of the product.
    Factors durable: machinery, equipment, land and brand.
    Factors nondurable: raw materials, labor, goods, labor, and knowledge.

    C) The factors of production of the factory Pringles are:
    Tangible factors: buildings, water, corn starch, potato flakes, paper, labels, machinery, equipment, land and workers.
    Non-tangible factors: patents, goodwill, installation costs, brand, services, labor, the reputation of the firm, know-how, skills, synergy and disclosure.
    Factors durable: machinery, equipment, mark.

    The classification of machinery and equipment as durable goods is true because they offer a service for a big temporal extension and they can be used in more productive cycles. But inevitably they too will face the deterioration, disposal and subsequent replacement.

  10. Observing manufacture of those products: chocolate, honey, Pringles we can classify the production factors in the following way: tangible and intangible but also durable or non-durable.
    We will notice that non-durable products are often those tangible (cocoa, grains, hive of honey, honey, patato flakes, cornstarch ...) and the durable products are intangible (machines, workers, skills, brand , services)
