    consumer goods r used once only.Though the benefit of paints continue to remain for more than one year it can not be called a capital goods.

    Capital goods r those goods which r put to use for a longer period n used for production of goods.

    Consumer goods may be used as raw materials for production of some goods.But capital goods r not used as raw materials.
