P2 may/june 2007 CIE.....qns 1 a part 1 and b!!! :-[

wat do u find difficult there ?

wat do u find difficult there ?
qns 1 a part 1:i dont know how to draw the PPC..the mark scheme also didnt give a clear direction!
qns 1 b:i didnt get the qns as well as the answer
-
just , draw a normal PPC which gives a negetive relationship between the two i.e educaional programs
& comedy programmes . Then explain wat is likely to happen if licence fees in crease , i.e there will be more production of comedy programmes . got it or u need more explanation
-
remember if u r showing a shiftt in PPC show with a pivoted shift i.e educational program production stays same while the other increases !
-
lol...i got it!! ;D what about the b part?
-
4 the other one, as u can see there is no producer surplus, this obviously show that producer is loosing/ gaining nothing, but still producing for 23 million households. consumer surplus is negetive after 17 million but however the net benitfit is higher as u can see in the diagram. Therefore it is possible to say that consumer is getting a higher benifit than they actaully pay for , (there expenditure is 23 x 121, & they recieve benifits of more than that )
-
hope u knw wat producer & consumer surplus is ;)
-
hope u knw wat producer & consumer surplus is ;)
lol..yes i know wat they mean....thanx a ton dasith ;)

lol..yes i know wat they mean....thanx a ton dasith ;)

i have another question:
may/june 2009 P21 qns1 c part 1 i got the part that it increased but the markscheme said from under to over 50% or from approx 40% to 60% in total...???how d we calculate the percentage!!
-
(a) With the aid of a diagram, explain why an economy’s floating exchange rate may depreciate.
[8]
(b) Discuss whether a current account deficit is always a serious economic problem for a
country. [12]
can i get like a model answer for it!!!i just want to see and get an idea of how to write it!!

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 !!

k ,
current a/c includes visible + invisible trade( i.e services + physical goods) any factor earning or income
A current account deficit might obviously mean bad for a country as the countries exchange rate may depreciate i.e if it has floating exchange rate. This would be bad for country as the countries exports loose their value. If the country has a fixed exchange rate the government may have to finance the deficit.
It would mean a rise in government expenditure / use of foreign currency reserves/ borrowing from IMF(international monetary fund) or possible long term loans if the deficit is very large. This would be bad 4 a country because they hav to pay intrest & the loan back to borrowed country (again a outflow in long run).
However it shuld be noted that Current account is not the only part in BOP, therefore a deficit in current account might be offset by the other accounts such as capital & financial a/c.
A deficit in a current account account might not be a big problem to a country which has a high currency reserves possibly accumulated from previous surpluses in BOP. so a deficit in one year might may damage thier economy in a miour way or not damage @ all.It also depends for how long the deficit continues if its for a short period of time it might not take the attention of the government as its not such a big problem. Thaugh the BOP is one of the main objectives of the government if a country is expected to face a bop deficit , i.e if the economy is experiencing growth & there is high demand for capital goods/ better technology they may be imported causing a deficit .but they are not bad for the economy in long run.It should alos be noted that consumers may enjoy better living standerds with more imports .
Therefore it could be said that currrent a/c deficit is not a serious problem for the economy as they hav both benifits & disadvantages. It all depends on how much the deficit is & why the deficit occured.

-
it means the value of them aterial that money is made of...like the ACTUAL value....see these days money is made of paper....and if u look at it, the truth is that its value is extremely insignificant...how much does paper cost?? so THAT is the intrinsic value. it is the value that we hav placed on that one 100$ bill that makes it worth so much. in reality its intrinsic value is nothing.
hope u read this in time. all da very best :)
i have my paper too .

well this is something i googled ! hope it helps
1. The actual value of a security, as opposed to its market price or book value. The intrinsic value includes other variables such as brand name, trademarks, and copyrights that are often dificult to calculate and sometimes not accurately reflected in the market price. One way to look at it is that the market capitalization is the price (i.e. what investors are willing to pay for the company) and intrinsic value is the value (i.e. what the company is really worth). Different investors use different techniques to calculate intrinsic value.
2. The amount by which a call option is in the money, calculated by taking the difference between the strike price and the market price of the underlier. For example, if a call option for 100 shares has a strike price of $35 and the stock is trading at $50 a share than the call option has an intrinsic value of $15 share, or $1500. If the stock price is less than the strike price the call option has no intrinsic value.
3. The amount by which a put option is in the money, calculated by taking the difference between the strike price and the market price of the underlier. For example, if a put option for 100 shares has a strike price of $35 and the stock is trading at $20 a share than the put option has an intrinsic value of $15 per share, or $1500. If the stock price is greater than the strike price the put option has no intrinsic value.
