Which of the following is not an example of intermediate goods?
निम्नलिखित में से क्या मध्यवर्ती माल का एक उदाहरण नहीं हैं?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Medicine/ औषधि
Explanation
Intermediate goods are goods that are used as raw materials or components in the production of other goods.
Examples:
- Steel → used in construction, automobiles, machines.
- Hard drive → used as a component in computers/laptops.
- Paint → used in manufacturing vehicles, furniture, buildings.
Medicine is generally consumed directly by consumers for treatment, so it is considered a final good, not an intermediate good.
मध्यवर्ती माल (Intermediate goods) वे वस्तुएँ होती हैं जिनका उपयोग अन्य वस्तुओं के उत्पादन में किया जाता है।
उदाहरण:
- स्टील → निर्माण, वाहन और मशीनों में उपयोग होती है।
- हार्ड ड्राइव → कंप्यूटर/लैपटॉप में एक घटक के रूप में उपयोग होती है।
- पेंट → वाहन, फर्नीचर, भवन आदि में उपयोग होता है।
औषधि का उपयोग सामान्यतः उपभोक्ता सीधे करते हैं, इसलिए यह अंतिम माल (Final Good) माना जाता है।
Extra Facts
Intermediate goods are excluded while calculating GDP to avoid double counting.
Example: Flour used by a bakery is an intermediate good, but bread sold to consumers is a final good.
अतिरिक्त तथ्य
GDP की गणना में मध्यवर्ती वस्तुओं को शामिल नहीं किया जाता ताकि दोहरी गणना (Double Counting) न हो।
उदाहरण: बेकरी द्वारा उपयोग किया गया आटा मध्यवर्ती माल है, जबकि उपभोक्ता को बेची गई ब्रेड अंतिम माल है।
