Consumer goods are items bought for personal use, not production.

Steps:

• Recall that consumer goods satisfy personal needs, unlike capital or intermediate goods used in business.
• Examine each option to determine if the purchase is for the farm owner's personal consumption or farm operations.
• Eliminate options involving farm production inputs.
• Identify the option for non-business personal use.

Why A is correct:

• A television is a durable consumer good purchased for personal entertainment, per the economic definition of final goods for household use.

Why the others are wrong:

• B: Additional land is a capital good to expand farm production.
• C: Fertilizer is an intermediate good used in crop production.
• D: Farming equipment is a capital good for business operations.

Final answer: A
