Depreciation of fixed capital assets refers to normal wear and tear and foreseen obsolescence. Depreciation is also called consumption of fixed capital. Loss of fixed assets happen on account of normal wear and tear, normal rate of accidental damages and expected obsolescence.

Goods purchased for the following purpose are final goods:
a) For satisfaction of wants
b) For investment in firm
Final goods are those goods which crossed the boundary of production and are ready to use by their final users, Final goods must lead to either final consumption expenditure or investment expenditure in the economy.

Unforeseen obsolescence of fixed capital assets during production is capital loss. Unforeseen obsolescence which may happen due to natural calamity is not taken into account while calculating depreciation and hence, it causes capital loss.

Capital formation refers to the net addition to the stock of capital goods (like machinery, factories, or infrastructure). Goods held by a consumer for personal use are consumption goods, not capital goods, so they do not contribute to capital formation.

Induced investment is specifically driven by the profit motive and changes in the level of income or output. Autonomous investment, conversely, is independent of profit or income levels.

A frequently used tool that explains the relationship between the level of investment made in the economy and the consequent increase in GDP is the capital-output ratio. The concept of the capital-output ratio expresses the relationship between the value of capital invested and the value of output.

Capital output ratio is the amount of capital needed to produce one unit of output. For example, suppose that investment in an economy, investment is 32% (of GDP), and the economic growth corresponding to this level of investment is 8%.

Here, a Rs 32 investment produces an output of Rs 8. Capital output ratio is 32/8 or 4. In other words, to produce one unit of output, 4 unit of capital is needed. But don’t forget that the Rs 32 invested in the form of machinery will remain there for around ten or twelve years. Such machinery will be giving Rs 1 output in every year.

Hence, B is the correct option.
