What is Mr Jamil's expenditure of eight lakh taka called in economics?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a investment
  2. b land
  3. c capital
  4. d consumption expenditure
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: a investment

Money engaged in production, adding new machinery to existing capital, is investment.

Why the other options are wrong

  • b land: Land is a natural resource; buying machines is not land.
  • c capital: The machines bought are capital; but spending money this way is called investment.
  • d consumption expenditure: Consumption expenditure is to meet needs; this is for production.
