Answer 1

Differentiate between money flows and real flows in the circular flow model.

Money flow:

• Factor remuneration represents the expenditure of producers 
• And the income of households e.g. wages, rent, interest and profit 
• Consumption expenditure represents the expenditure of households and the income of producers
• Government and foreign sector payments 
• Import payments (expenditure) and export earnings (income) 

Real flow:

• Factors of production flow from the owners (households) to producers via the factor markets 
• Goods and services flow from the producers via the goods markets to households and other users of goods and services 
• Factors of production and goods and services flow from foreign countries to South Africa (imports) 
• Factors of production and goods and services flow from South Africa to foreign countries (exports)
