different types of goods
TRANSCRIPT
Goods used for final Consumption are called Consumer Goods
Eg. Food, Home, Car
Goods used for production of other goods are called Producer Goods
Eg. Plants, Machinery, Factory
Goods which are consumed finally
Satisfy customer’s wants directly
The analysis used to study Consumed Goods is called Demand/ Revenue analysis
According to Layman, goods perishable after use are called non-durable goods
Later new economics definition came ; non-durable goods are goods perishable after one use .Eg. Bread, Milk,
Purchased at regular intervals
Only current demand to be met corresponding to current conditions
Serviceability not generally required
Classified into perishable and non perishable goods
Perishable goods are lost after a period of time
Eg. Teaching Services, Doctor’s service, Medicines
Non-perishable goods are not lost after a period of time
Eg. Coal
Goods being used for a continued period of time. Eg.TV, refrigerator
It either satisfies new demand or replace old set.
Requires special facilities to use. Eg. Car needs Petrol Pump, Refrigerator needs Electricity.
Consumed by more than one person.Eg. TV, Radio
Serviceability is required. So segregation of new demand and service required
Demand analysis is heavily complex
A good whose demand increases when income increases and demand decreases when income decreases.
It’s price remains the same
Inferior goods are goods whose demand decreases as income increases.
It has negative elasticity of demand
Eg. A Man who had a recent hike in salary pay less on cheap dress.
Superior gods are goods whose demand increases as income increases
It has high positive elasticity of demand
In Ireland, the poor people used to consume more potatoes(inferior good) and less meat using their miniscule daily budget
During a famine when cost of potato was increased it was found that the consumption of potato has been increased
This phenomenon defied the law of demand as of then, and was called the Giffen paradox
In economics, a luxury good is a good for which demand increases more than proportionally as income rises.
It has a high elasticity of demand
Their quality, durability or performance that are remarkably superior to the comparable substitutes Eg. Gold ornaments

With time can assume status of normal goods
Goods which ascribe high status and value
Eg. Antique Collections, Limited Edition Goods
