Answer:

Private individuals.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a free enterprise system, the decisions about what and how many goods and services will be produced are made by private individuals.

Free enterprise system is an economic system in which the ownership and control of means of production (resources) and distribution of goods and services are determined by private individuals. Here, private individuals decide what, how and for whom to produce while the government does not interfere in economic activities. The allocation of resources and price determination are influenced by the forces of demand and supply called price mechanism, which Adam Smith referred to as 'Invisible Hand'.

Free enterprise system is also known as Capitalist economy, Capitalism and Free market system. Countries that practice more of free enterprise system are Singapore, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Australia and Switzerland.
