# The Circular-Flow Model### OverviewThe diagram illustrates a circular-flow model of a simple economy. This model depicts interactions between different economic sectors, demonstrating how money and resources circulate within an economy.### Diagram Explanation- **Components:** - **Firms**: Represent companies that produce goods and services. - **Households**: Represent consumers who own factors of production and consume goods and services. - **Markets for Goods and Services**: Where firms sell and households buy finished products. - **Markets for Factors of Production**: Where households supply and firms purchase resources needed to produce.- **Arrows:** - **Green Arrows (Outer Set)**: Represent the flow of dollars. - From Firms to Households: Payments for labor, land, and capital. - From Households to Firms: Spending on goods and services. - **Red Arrows (Inner Set)**: Indicate the flow of inputs and outputs. - From Households to Firms: Supplying factors like labor and capital. - From Firms to Households: Delivering goods and services.### ApplicationBased on this model, households earn income when **firms purchase factors** in factor markets.#### Example Scenario:- Teresa earns $775 per week working as a jewelry appraiser for Classy’s Jewelry Store. - She spends $9 to buy aspirin at Pillmart Pharmacy.- Sam earns $450 per week working at Pillmart Pharmacy. - He spends $325 to purchase a necklace from Classy’s Jewelry Store. This interaction exemplifies the flow of money and resources within the circular-flow model, illustrating how households earn and spend their income in an economy. Suppose Teresa earns $775 per week working as a jewelry appraiser for Classy’s Jewelry Store. She uses $9 to buy a box of aspirin at Pillmart Pharmacy. Pillmart Pharmacy pays Sam $450 per week to work the cash register. Sam uses $325 to purchase a necklace from Classy’s Jewelry Store.**Identify whether each of the following events in this scenario occurs in the factor market or the product market.**| Event | Factor Market | Product Market ||---------------------------------------------------------------|---------------|----------------|| Sam earns $450 per week working for Pillmart Pharmacy. | ● | || Teresa spends $9 to buy a box of aspirin. | | ● || Sam spends $325 to purchase necklace from Classy’s Jewelry Store. | | ● |**Which of the elements of this scenario represent a flow from a firm to a household?

the run up in grain prices of the past 6 months has now caused an increase in the price of farmland. Since farmland is one of the major inputs in production of corn, the higher price for land will increase every farmer’s cost. Even if the farmer already owns land they previously purchased at lower prices, they have to recognize that the new higher price of land is their opportunity cost: they could just sell the land and receive the new higher price of land. show shifts in any of the cost curves, reflecting the higher cost of land (keeping in mind that this higher cost is independent of how much or how little corn is actually produced) and labeling the changed cost curves with a subscript 1. On the graph with $ on the vertical axis and individual firm output q on the horizontal axis, draw the P1 . What is the new profit maximizing output q1 for this typical firm? Graphically depict the size of profits or losses (negative profits) at the new price P1. Is the firm making positive or…
Derive and plot Madeline's demand curve for Coke if she views Coke and Pepsi as perfect substitutes. (Hint: The quantity of Coke consumed where the budget line hits the Coke axis is Y/Pc, where pc is the price of Coke, pp is the price of Pepsi, and Y is income.) Use the 3-point curved line drawing tool to draw Madeline's demand curve for Coke. To simplify the analysis, assume that if the price of Coke and the price of Pepsi are equal, then Madeline, though indifferent between the two, only consumes Coke. Label this curve 'Demand'. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. C Price/can of Coke Pp Y Pc Coke, Cans per year

Consider Laura who makes $1,400 per week and just won a ‘set for life’ lottery ticket which involves a fortnightly payment of $10,000 for 20 years. Currently she works 35 hours per week. Do the following: 1. Illustrate the effect of the lottery win on lauras budget constraint using a fully labelled diagram where i) the horizontal axis represents the hours of free time per week, and ii) the vertical axis represents lauras weekly consumption. 2. Illustrate on the same diagram lauras optimal decisions before and after the lottery win along with his indifference curves. 3. Based on your diagram, discuss whether Laura will quit her job.
