Answer 1

Answer & Explanation:

Circular Flow model denotes how goods & services, factor incomes & prices move within sectors of economy.

A closed economy has two sectors - households & firms, having following features of circular flow between them:

• Households provide factor services to firms , & get factor payments from firms in return
• Firms provide goods & services to households, & get prices for households in return

In case of open economy - with rest of world & foreign country, exports & imports also come in circular flow.

• Firms export to foreign ROW, receive export payments from them.
• Households, firms import from foreign ROW, pay their import payments to them.
