Task 1CASE 3.1.01Chapter 3 · Focus on different types of businesses

Labour as a Factor of Production

Analyze how businesses classify human resources among the factors of production used to create goods and services. Evaluate the following economic assertions:

#StatementTrue
A.
Managers who coordinate schedules supply labour as human resources alongside coordination duties.
B.
Insurance claims handlers processing policies supply labour in a service firm.
C.
Labour is restricted to manual shop-floor work and excludes planners or accountants.
D.
Installing software is a want rather than labour because the service is intangible.
E.
Seasonal pickers fall outside labour because their employment lasts only weeks.

Answer key

A	B	C	D	E
True	True	False	False	False

A. \to True Schedule coordination is still human effort applied to production. Managers who set shifts and allocate people are labour as a human resource, even when their work is desk-based rather than shop-floor. So the statement is True.

B. \to True Claims handlers who process insurance policies perform service work for the firm. That human input is labour, not capital or land. A service firm without people to handle policies cannot deliver the product, so the handlers sit squarely inside the labour factor. So the statement is True.

C. \to False Labour covers planners, accountants, supervisors, and shop-floor workers alike whenever human effort goes into production. Restricting labour to manual tasks invents a false split. A planner who sequences jobs and an accountant who tracks costs both supply human resources. Excluding them would leave most offices outside the labour factor, which contradicts how firms actually combine people with machines and materials. So the statement is False.

D. \to False Installing software is an activity performed for a client: human skills applied as labour. Intangibility makes it a service, not a "want." Wants are consumption preferences; labour is a production factor. Mixing those categories mislabels the installer's work. So the statement is False.

E. \to False Seasonal pickers work for wages during harvest weeks and still supply labour. Contract length does not reclassify the factor. Short employment remains human effort in production. So the statement is False.

English and German economics, one idea

Work BBE economics in English and Wirtschaft verstehen in German. Bridge cases train the same concept in both wordings so you do not study the chapter twice.

Why Choose Us

Everything from Full BBE and Full WiSo in one course: questions, timed mocks, builders, flashcards, matching, and tutor exam, plus a shared plan so the overlap is not homework twice.

3,000+ practice questions

A growing bank of exam-style cases across every content area, with a short explanation under each statement so you learn the logic instead of only the answer key.

Full timed mock exams

Sit complete simulations with real pacing pressure and partial-credit scoring, then review where points were won or lost.

Custom mock builder

Build your own timed sets by topic and difficulty so you can close weak spots without spending hours on material you already know.

Study tools

Quick drills between full practice sessions until recall feels automatic.

Same campus. Two papers. One preparation.

BBE is the selective English track. WiSo is the larger German-taught track. Hybrid is for the year you refuse to guess wrong and close the other door.

Why a third course

Mathematics and economics overlap. The language section does not. Hybrid keeps both papers in one plan without doing the shared work twice.

On the latest BBE paper, mathematics is about 43% of the score and economics about 37.5%. English is about 19%. The heavy rows are the ones you can study once.

The row you cannot share

BBE · English

11 questions

Reading, grammar, and vocabulary on the English-taught paper.
About 19% of the BBE score.
WiSo has no English section. This practice does not move that paper.

WiSo · German

9 questions

German reading comprehension, not a separate grammar drill.
WU lists deutsches Sprachverständnis, not English.
A BBE English set will not show whether this section is ready.

A Hybrid week keeps both lanes next to the shared chapter: mathematics and economics once, then the English wording and the German wording before you leave the topic.

What the third course adds

Shared math library

Thirteen chapters, one queue. Each task is BBE, then WiSo, or the other way around. A fully correct task counts once.

Bridge case library

Twenty economics concepts in four units. English statements, then the German wording of the same idea, scored as one step.

Hybrid paper

Mathematics plus German reading, one task at a time. Pick a focus and the paper opens on BBE or on WiSo, then alternates.

Both full libraries

Mocks, builders, flashcards, matching, and tutor stay. BBE is 34 questions, WiSo is 32, each about 2 hours.

Acceptance notes

What dual-track applicants told us

Both tracks come in the one purchase, that's why I got it, my parents couldn't choose. Math you only do once, so I wasn't doing derivatives again in the other language, and the language parts aren't the same thing. After the exam I took the BBE seat, and the WiSo tasks were there the whole time, so I wasn't choosing blind.

Karolina, Kraków

BBE rank 88, and a WiSo place

I kept treating the English and the German like they were the same thing, and they're not, in the first week I got a German question wrong that I'd just got right in English. So I stopped doing both languages on the same evening and I ended up on WiSo, it's a 4 because doing both is more work than it looks, and the work itself is fine.

Ben, Budapest

Enrolled on WiSo

Wenn ich Englisch und Deutsch am selben Tag mach, bring ich alles durcheinander, also hab ich beide Sprachen im Paket behalten, aber nicht am selben Tag, und Mathe nur einmal, mehr als ein Kurs war für mich richtig, und eine Sprache auf halber Strecke streichen musste ich nicht.

Frequently asked questions

It is a third course for people who want to sit both WU entrance exams. Shared math and economics are studied once. English and German stay as separate language lanes, and every study mode from both full courses is included.

Yes. A Hybrid purchase unlocks the Hybrid course page plus Full BBE and Full WiSo: subject banks, mocks, mock builders, flashcards, matching, and tutor exam.

No. Mathematics is one bank with an English or German stem. Economics concepts can be bridged across languages. Only the language sections (English for BBE, German reading for WiSo) stay separate.

The same modes as both tracks: subject practice, full mocks, custom mock builders, flashcards, matching, and tutor exam. Hybrid adds the Shared Math library, where each task is BBE then WiSo or the reverse, Bridge Cases, and a hybrid paper of mathematics plus German reading in that same order.

Hybrid is a one-time payment of €559. Existing full-course promocodes also apply at Hybrid checkout.
