Question

Cardinal Comics produces graphic historical novels and retails them through local shops and electronic outlets throughout the United States. The publisher also sells directly to public school districts and other educational institutions. The publisher maintains an in-house staff of editors and illustrators but contracts out writing, printing, and distribution. Their printer uses domestically recycled paper but imports ink and much of its printing equipment from overseas. Which part of this scenario would most directly relate to segment A in the circular flow diagram above?

Retails them through local shops and electronic outlets
Sells directly to public school districts and other educational institutions
Maintains an in-house staff of editors and illustrators
Uses domestically recycled paper

Answer 1

As segment A corresponds to Product Market, the part of this scenario most related to that segment is about the selling. And about that, it says that the enterprise retails the products through local shops and electronic outlets. So that is the most directly related part of the scenario respect to segment A.

Answer 2

I had to look for the missing image here and here is my answer.
Based on the given illustration which shows the flow of the product market, segment A here marks an arrow from the government then to the product market. Based on this, segment A here would be the second option scenario: sells directly to public school districts and other educational institutions. Hope this helps.
