1. Identifying whether each of the following events in this scenario occurs in the resource market or the product market:

a. Alex earns $250 per week working for Little Havana. (Resource Market / Product Market)

b. Becky spends $10 to order a mojito cocktail. (Resource Market / Product Market)

2. The elements of this scenario that represent a flow from a household to a firm are:

a. The $250 Alex spends to purchase tax services from A-Plus Accountants.

b. Becky's labor

Step-by-step explanation:

The resource market is the market where firms buy resources for the production of goods and services. This means that the resource market deals in the transfer of inputs: labor, capital, land, and entrepreneurship from households to firms. In the product market, households buy output, i.e. goods and services from firms.
