Which model shows the interactions between households and business firms exchanging goods and resources in markets?

• A. Circular Diagram
• B. Circular Flow
• C. Economic Diagram
• D. Market Model

Answer: (B)

The main idea is the circular flow of money and resources between households and firms in markets. Households supply factors of production—like labor and capital—to firms, enabling production. Firms then produce goods and services and sell them to households in the product market. Households use their income—wages, rents, interest, profits—from firms to buy those goods and services, which in turn provides revenue to firms. This money moving from households to firms and the resources moving from households to firms, while goods flow in the opposite direction, creates a continuous loop. This two-actor, two-market interaction is what the circular flow model specifically captures, making it the precise term for describing these exchanges.
