Good (economics and accounting)
A good or commodity in
economics is any object or service that increases
utility, directly or indirectly, not to be confused with good in a moral or ethical sense (see
Utilitarianism and
consequentialist ethical theory). A good that cannot be used by
consumers directly, such as an office building or capital equipment, can also be referred to as a good as an indirect source of utility through resale value or as a source of income. A 'good' in economic usage does not imply moral acceptance or even legality.
