Answer

Capital: Capital has to do with the funds that a business has to begin an enterprise. Those with more capital can invest more money into an enterprise and thus have an advantage. Division of Labor: This occurred because owners realized it was more efficient to divide labor into specific tasks for each person than to have everyone doing a bit of everything.
