That "electricity" was a service
Without context, it is a good.
It's like natural gas. It is a good.
It's like saying "milk" is a service because the milk man brings it to your house
She wouldn't give me my damn point back on the quiz
Never heard a science teacher explain a scientific process in business terms before.
Who said it was a science teacher?
Civics and Econ teacher.
You're supposed to assume they mean "Electrical Service" but they can't say service or they give you the answer.
This is just semantics. Companies are often called services because they operate and maintain the network of service to your house, whether it's electric fields moving around, gas particles, laundry pick up and delivery, trash and recycling, milk, newspaper delivery, Internet service, cable subscription, whatever else. Perfectly reasonable to call home electricity a service operated by your utility.
"Home electricity" sure a service. Little vague but could be a service.
If I have solar panels on my house and store electricity in a battery. I am producing and storing a good. It would be home electricity.
No argument there. If you're off the grid you're not getting electricity service to your house by a utility. Same if you buy your own milk at the store.
You can still be on the grid and produce your own electricity. The electric company will even buy extra electricity from the consumer.
Electricity or milk is a good. Milk delivery or electricity delivery is a service that delivers a good.
No way you'd say "Milk" was a service, just like you shouldn't say "Electricity" is a service. If you give more detail that makes it a service, then it would be a service.
It was a bullshit question and the teacher didn't want to admit that.
Definitely a bullshit question. Yes, "Electricity" is not a service without context like you said. But if I said what services does your house have? You could say "electricity" if you're connected to an electricity service
Yep because you're referring directly to the service. Which makes it a service.
It was one of those word bank middle school questions
The electrons are already in the wire, the service is making them move.
