In economics, any commodity which is produced and subsequently consumed by the consumer, to satisfy its current wants or needs, is a consumer good or final good. Consumer goods are goods that are ultimately consumed rather than used in the production of another good. For example, a microwave oven or a bicycle which is sold to a consumer is a final good or consumer good, whereas the components which are sold to be used in those goods are called intermediate goods. For example, textiles or transistors which can be used to make some further goods. When used in measures of national income and output, the term "final goods" only includes new goods. For instance, the GDP excludes items counted in an earlier year to prevent double counting of production based on resales of the same item second and third hand. In this context the economic definition of goods includes what are commonly known as ''services''. ''Manufactured goods'' are goods that have been processed in any way. As such, they are the opposite of raw materials, but include intermediate goods as well as final goods. == Law == There are legal definitions. For example, The United States Consumer Product Safety Act has an extensive definition of consumer product, which begins:
It then goes on to list eight additional specific exclusions and further details.〔http://www.cpsc.gov/businfo/cpsa.pdf〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Final good」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
