1. Translate the marked part of the text:

          (1) Businesses play a vital role in our lives. We depend on them not only for our livelihood, but also for the goods and services we use in our daily lives. Nearly everything we own and use – from our food and clothing to our automobiles and homes – is produced by businesses.

          (2) A business firm is an organization that brings together the factor of production – natural resources, capital goods, and labour – for the purpose of producing and distributing goods and services. Business firms purchase the factors of production, transform them into goods and services, and sell the goods and services to consumers and other firms. For example, a furniture-manufacturing firm purchases lumber and equipment from other firms and labour in the form of its employees. It then uses these resources to produce furniture, which is sold to consumers and to other business firms.

          (3) One of the major characteristics of business firms is specialization and division of labour. Workers are trained in specific tasks and perform only a small part of the production process. For centuries, people have been aware of the advantages of specialization and division of labour. Even when early households produced many of their own basic necessities, at least some goods and services were produced by specialized workers outside the household. Today, most commodities are produced by outside business firms.

          (4) Specialization and division of labour result in increased efficiency in the production process. Economists refer to the savings resulting from this increased efficiency as economies of scale. Economies of scale occur when a large volume of output can be produced at a lower cost per unit than can a small volume of output.
