Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

AFirms sell products but buy factors; households buy products but sell factors

BHouseholds sell products but never buy anything

CFirms buy products only from government and never from households

DThe model has no role for money flows

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Use the multi-step circular-flow diagram to answer the question. Which arrow is an injection from the foreign sector into domestic spending?

AThe arrow labeled C: foreign buyers pay domestic firms for exports

BThe arrow labeled D: government sends transfers to households

CThe arrow labeled B: households save at banks

DThe arrow labeled A: households pay foreign sellers for imported coffee

Solution & Explanation:Exports bring spending from foreign buyers into domestic firms, so they are an injection from the foreign sector. Imports and saving are leakages; transfers are government-to-household payments.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

AFinished consumer goods flow to the household, and taxes flow to the firm

BImports flow to government, and transfers flow to the foreign sector

CCapital services flow to the firm, and factor income flows to the household
