.
Points:

Flow #2 represents:
The flow of money from the saver to the borrower
.
Points:
1 / 1
This form of exchange involves:
Two market participants, one transfer of money, and the exchange of
one security
.
Points:
1 / 1
The simplest mechanism or market arrangement in which money is transferred from a saver with a surplus
of funds to a borrower with a shortage of funds is called a direct transfer.
In this situation, funds flow from the saver to the borrower, while the security, which provides evidence of
the transfer and the terms of repayment or ownership, flows from the borrower to the saver (investor).
In a direct transfer, there are two market participants (the borrower and the saver), one transfer of money
(from the saver/investor to the borrower), and one security. At the conclusion of the loan period, the
borrower will repay the funds owed to the saver in accordance with the terms specified in the security.

example, they can be segmented according to the types and maturities of the securities traded, who receives
the proceeds of the sale, and the mechanisms used to operate the markets.
Consider the following transactions, and indicate which of each category of markets best describes the
transaction. Thus, select equity or debt, primary or secondary, and capital or money for each transaction.
