| | Good (economics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Goods are, or can be, sold at a price if a market exists for the good. | | | Labour represents a good to an employer, and a 'bad' to the worker, because the worker would prefer to spend the time at leisure (labor is a pure substitute for leisure time). | | | In macroeconomics and accounting a distinction is made between a accounting good and a service. |

| | The Market Valuation of Computer Capital: the good old Tobin? q-theory solves puzzles |
| | Capitalized adjustment costs of investment are one of the intangible assets, which the firm's accounting books do not capture. | | | The advertisement costs to build the brand equity, on-the-job-training costs to improve employees' human capital, and costs to reorganize the firm's structure and practices to adapt itself to new technologies or to changes in demands all fail to appear as assets on the balance sheet. | | | Another important candidate is the capitalized value of the costs that firms incur when implementing organizational changes to harness the potential of computerization. |

| | Rainy Day Fund -- Building Working Capital in Good Times |
| | Without working capital reserves, the options are asset liquidation, interim financing, or refinancing short-term debt with long-term notes, all of which may hinder the future success of the operation. | | | Working capital is defined as the difference between current assets and current liabilities (Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities). | | | A business that depreciates assets without making capital replacements is said to be "living off depreciation." It should be noted that it is not necessary to own the assets, but rather to have control of the assets, as evidenced by the trend towards more leased machinery and equipment. |

| | What is the part played by capital goods in the process of economic growth |
| | Each of the fixed capital goods, the tools of production, is itself an endpoint to some flow of raw and intermediate goods, processed in stages by higher-order fixed capital. | | | From this point on capital may be taken in all cases to mean capital goods — hardware and software, the “produced means of production,” unless otherwise noted. | | | Understanding the nature of capital development requires a clear appreciation that capital goods work and have value in particular relationships with one another — in the capital structure. |

| | In that sense social capital is closely related to what some have called “civic virtue.” The difference is that “social capital” calls attention to the fact that civic virtue is most powerful when embedded in a sense network of reciprocal social relations. | | | Bonding capital is good for undergirding specific reciprocity and mobilizing solidarity… Bridging networks, by contrast, are better for linkage to external assets and for information diffusion…. | | | The notion of capital brings with it a whole set of discourses and inevitably links it, in the current context, to capitalism. |

| | Capital goods markets deal with durable goods bought by other businesses: each business buyer intends to use the capital good to help their business make more goods or provide a service; the good bought is one that will be used over a period of time. | | | Think of at least one other problem that a business operating in a capital good market might face | | | However, what happens if the businesses you sell to start to face problems — they won’t want to buy new machinery and that puts you out of business. |
