Question 1071 • Crowley Credit Recovery Algebra II B

Which best describes why taxes and savings are considered leakage factors?

Answer
A
They take money out of households.
B
They take money out of the economic system.
C
They take money out of the economic sectors.
D
They take money out of the financial sector.

Explanation

Taxes and savings are called leakages because they withdraw money from the circular flow of spending, so it is not immediately spent on goods and services. Taxes go to the government and savings are set aside, rather than remaining in the flow of household spending and business income. Therefore, they take money out of the economic system’s circular flow.
