(a)  With the aid of a diagram, explain why an economy’s floating exchange rate may depreciate.

There are different ways of showing it , but i think the marking scheme took it this way

Total exports in 2002 = 18 (approx)
total copper exports  =   7

7/ 18 x 100 = 38.8%


total exports in 2005 = 40
total coppoe xpots   =  23

23/40        =57.5%

it dosent matter about the % u just hav to show how u got it !!

so as u can see its obviously from under 50% to over 50% by 2005 :D got it?

k i totally suck @ writing :S  , By the way heres hw i would ans the question, u might just get some points out of it...

a) i would define wat exchange rate is then ; wat floating exchange rate is how it works i.e Demand & supply for our currency in world market .(i'd jump straight to diagram because i ha8 wrting  :P )

draw a diagram with elastic supply & demand for currency, explain wat is likely to happen when demand falls.
i.e to the value of our currency.Give reasons as to why it is likely to depreciate , eg reduction in tarriff or govenment encouragement to export.& explain y a elastic demand is likely to depreciate it more than an inelastic demand

Draw an exchange rate with inelastic demand.explain how a reduction in demand / supply effects exchange rate. next i might describe how demand for our currency would be reduced / supply increased .

& that might be it !!
