Explanation:

Capital goods and consumer goods are classified based on how they are used. A capital good is any good used to help increase future production. Consumer goods are any goods used by consumers and have no future productive use.The same physical good could be a consumer good or a capital good. It just depends on how it will be used. An apple bought at a grocery store and immediately eaten is a consumer good. An identical apple bought by a company to make apple juice is a capital good. The difference, again, lies in its utilization.
