He listed some of these developing countries and they includes the followings:

Contributed by the owners of the business and out residual revenue after meting expenses and outside interest. As a result for a business that is starting operation. All assets contributed by the owners to set up the business will be regarded as capital.
In the course of his explanation, he mentioned that Pandef sees capital as the total funds invested in the business. He went further to say that Batty sees capital as the funds used in the business.

Increasing education training and experience allows workers to produce more output from the same level of physical capital.
