Expert Solution
Step 1

A production process is influenced by a number of factors such as the price of resources, capital, and labor that are used to produce goods and services, and the level of technology available in the economy. The supply and demand for factor inputs determine their prices. Since factor inputs are used in the production of final goods and services meant for consumption, their demand is derived from the demand for commodities they produce. The demand for factor inputs is, hence, known as derived demand.
