Notebook computers are a final good as they are sold directly to consumers for their personal use and are not used in the production of any other goods or services. Antivirus software preloaded on computers (A) is considered an intermediate good, as it is used in the production of the final good (the computer). Computer chips (B) are also intermediate goods as they are used in the production of various electronic devices. Power cords packaged with new computers (D) are considered a complementary good, but not a final good, as they are not sold directly to consumers but rather bundled with the final good (the computer).
