Factors Which Influence Fixed-capital Requirements

  • The nature of the undertaking: the nature of the business certainly plays a role in determining fixed capital requirements. A florist, for example, needs less fixed capital than a vehicle-assembly factory.
  • The size of the undertaking: a general rule applies: the bigger the business, the higher the need for fixed capital.
  • The stage of development of the undertaking: the requirement of capital for a new undertaking is usually greater than that needed for an established business that has reached optimum size.

Famous quotes containing the words factors and/or influence:

    “The economic dependence of woman and her apparently indestructible illusion that marriage will release her from loneliness and work and worry are potent factors in immunizing her from common sense in dealing with men at work.”
    —Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)

    “If the contemplation, even of inanimate beauty, is so delightful; if it ravishes the senses, even when the fair form is foreign to us: What must be the effects of moral beauty? And what influence must it have, when it embellishes our own mind, and is the result of our own reflection and industry?”
    —David Hume (1711–1776)
