Answer 1

A) :-circular flow market model is defined as the flow of resources from households to firms and of products from firms to households. these flows are accompanied by reverse flows of money from firms to households and from households to firms

Two types of market in circular flow

1) The Products market or the market for goods in which the firms are sellers and the households are buyers;
2) Resources Market or the markets for factors of production

1):-Resources Market

The sellers here are households and firms are buyers. This is because the factors of production (such as labor) are provided by the households.

2):-Products Market

The sellers here are the firms or businesses and the households are buyers.

Difference between resource and product market

The difference between resource markets and product markets is that the resource market deals in the transfer of labor, capital, land and entrepreneurship from households to firms

while the product market deals in the transfer of goods and services from the firms to households.
