ok...i have some doubts...can anyone help me (actually im counting on u dasith to help :P)its may/june 2006 p1 qns 7,19,27 and 28?
i have the answers...duh....but i need explanation on y is it that answer and y not the others!pls help my paper is in the morning!
-
hehe , Dasith to da rescue :P :P :P
By the way hope u get it in time lol ;)
7) ans is b because when PED = 1 , we gotta assume revenue is equal @ any level of output / price, @ least thats wat the cambridge assumes ;) :P ,
Revenue here is 12 x 4000
i.e 48000
If we assume that revenue is same @ output of 20000 then Price =
48000/20000 = 2.4
19)
country N :
Gives up 1 Y for 4 X ( hope u knw hw to calculate that )if not just tell me :)
Country M:
gives up 1 Y for 2 X (hope u knw this too )
country N produces X & M produces Y(after specialisation)
so u can see if they Trade @ price 1y=3x here country N will gain because it has to give up ony 3x to get 1 y compared to 4x before specialisation , & country M gets 3 x for one y , where b4 specialisation it had got only 2x for every 1 y
ans = A
27)
Increased in ternational competition means Reduction in prices of imports(negetive inflation) , i.e because world supply curve is much lower(usually ) than domestic curves , & worsening of current a/c means people buy the cheap imports,which leads to increase in supply of local currency in world markets so exchange rate depreciates :)
ans is D
28)
pound appreciates againts $*
euro appreciates against pound
so which means euro appreciated agains $ too because $ depreciated agains pound !
soo this means $ againts pound depreciates*
& $ depreciates agianst euro
ans is C
27)

got to go 4 exam so i'm gonna make it quick ,
7) same as i explaned b4 u assume revenue is same & ......
8)its unitary or 1 for cola , calculate using formulae so A & b's out
its not D because its infinite for nuts i.e 1/0 x 100
ans is C
16)u gotta calculate socal net benifit or loss
i.e (private + external benifit) - (Pvt + external cost)
& coose one which has greater positive value !
gotta go .. sorry about the rest of the ans , i'm really running short of time lol , hope u dont mind ;D

1 . This definition on the link gives u an idea why it is so check http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/capital.html (http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/capital.html)
check the economis one .
7.In a unitery price elastic @ any point da Expenditure is da same.(always )
18.
If its A:
x specialises in food ( it would hav to give up 1 cloth to produce 3 food)
y specialises in cloth ( it would hav to give up 1 food to produce 0.5 cloth)
so if they trade @ prices 1 cloth for 1.5 food country "y" would find it disadvantageous
since because they would hav produced locally 2 food if they gave up 1 cloth , but wat they get is 1.5 for 1 cloth
but if u take option C:
country Y specialises in :cloth (giving up 1 food for 1 cloth)
country X in :food (giving up 2 food for 1 cloth)
country y has an advantage because :they get 1.5 units of food if they trade , local production would hav got them only 1 for 1
country x has an advantage because :they get 1 unit of cloth by only giving up 1.5 units of food , but local production would hav meant that they hav to give up 2 foods for 1 cloth

hey da 29 th one its because:
When US interest rates rise < DEmand 4 us $ would increase because ppl would want to deposit money in USA due to high return , so ppl would Give Pounds to Get US $ in order to deposit their money in US banks , this would increase supply of Pounds in the currency market , as ppl are willing to supply pounds for $ 's this would cause supply curve to sh*t to the Right (S1)
& since UK interest rates are Down This would cause the Demand for Pounds to be less as ppl get less return, so the demand for Pounds would Drop form D to D1
& so we r left with only Point C yea?
-
yes...i see!!
i didnt think of that before....thanks alot dasith!!!

How would this be shown in a demand and supply diagram of the market for legally produced
DVDs?

A shifts left shifts left
B shifts left shifts right
C shifts right shifts left
D shifts right shifts right
why does supply curve shift to the left?

Ah, ok. Dont worry, most likely will do much better this session. My AS Econ is a bit rusty or I would try answering the above ones. Hopefully you've figured them out by now though. Also keep in mind they usually always repeat 6- 7 questions from past papers, so read through all of them atleast once.
Also, this section is pretty much dead. Try posting on the xtremepaper forums. It's quite active there.
