Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A business owner using profits to play the lottery and win is not an example of investment, as investment involves using capital to generate future income or profit, whereas playing the lottery is a form of gambling with the possibility of winning a large sum of money without a guaranteed return. The other options involve using capital to improve or expand the business, which can generate future income or profit, and are therefore examples of investment.
