Let me work through each scenario step by step to determine whether it's a good or a service.
Understanding the difference:
- A
good is something you can touch, keep, eat, or use (like an apple, book, or toy)
- A
service is something someone does for you (like cutting hair, fixing a car, or giving a checkup)
Working through each scenario:
1.
You get your hair cut. - Someone is doing work for you (cutting). You're not buying something to take home. This is a
service.
2.
You buy a book from a garage sale. - A book is something you can hold and keep. This is a
