Which of the following describes consumer goods?

• A. Goods designed for use by final consumer.
• B. Goods used in the production of other goods.
• C. Financial securities.
• D. Government services.

Answer: (A)

Consumer goods are items purchased for personal use by individuals or households. They are intended for final consumption, not to be used in producing other goods. Examples include clothing, food, and household electronics—things people buy to satisfy personal needs or wants. This is different from capital (or producer) goods, which are used to make other products, or from financial securities and government services, which are not tangible goods. So the description that fits is goods designed for use by the final consumer.
