  Intermediate consumption - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thus, intermediate consumption is an accounting flow which consists of the total monetary value of goods and services consumed or used up as inputs in production by enterprises, including raw materials, services and various other operating expenses.
Intermediate consumption (unlike fixed assets) is not normally classified in national accounts by type of good or service, because the accounts will show net output by sector of activity.
Conceptually, intermediate goods or services should be valued at purchaser's market prices (including transaction costs and tax), at the point in time when the good or service enters the process of production, not when they were acquired by the producer.

 Intermediate good - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Intermediate goods or producer goods are goods used as inputs in the production of other goods, such as partly finished goods or raw materials.
Intermediate goods are not counted in a country's GDP, as that would mean double counting, as the final product only should be counted.
The use of the term "intermediate goods" can be slightly misleading, since in advanced economies about half of the value of intermediate inputs consist of services.

 United Nations Statistics Division - National Accounts
Intermediate consumption consists of the value of the goods and services consumed as inputs by a process of production, excluding fixed assets whose consumption is recorded as consumption of fixed captital.
Intermediate consumption also does not include costs incurred by the gradual using up of fixed assets owned by the enterprise: the decline in their value during the accounting period is recorded as consumption of fixed capital.
A good or service consumed as an intermediate input is normally valued at the purchaser's price prevailing at the time it enters the process of production; that is, at the price the producer would have to pay to replace it at the time it is used.

Resources may first be transformed into either intermediate goods and services or capital goods which are then used in producing the final goods and services.
For example, electrictiy (which is produced using resources such as labor, machinery and coal) is an intermediate good that is then used up in the production of bread, ice cream and yoga lessons.
Thus although capital goods are produced by the economic system, because they also serve as long-lasting inputs they are considered to be an economic resource.

 Mish's Global Economic Trend Analysis: Intermediate vs. Finished PPI
Because prices for food and energy have tended to be so erratic in recent years, some economists prefer to focus attention on an index measuring prices for finished goods other than foods and energy as a better measure of the so-called core or underlying rate of inflation.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of imports of intermediate goods on the growth and development of the manufacturing industries in Jordan for the period 1969-1997.
The estimated (OLS) results reveal that imports of intermediate goods have a significant positive impact on the growth and development of the manufacturing industries, and it would not be in Jordan's best interest to completely stop importing intermediate goods.
While on the other hand, the cointegration analysis results show that imports of intermediate goods and growth in manufacturing industries in Jordan are not cointegrated.

With factor price equalization and no trade in the intermediate good, there are no gains from trade by opening up the world to trade in the intermediate good.
