Varient 1: first q = price elasticity of demand, income elasticity of demand, the article was about cigerattes so they asked whether it in maintained a normal demand curve relationship from the data given, n ther was like a graph showing thay as price went up demand fell, (3)
*whether it is elastic/inelastic: Data given: PED short term= -0.08 PED long run= -0.57
YED= 1.47. (3)
*the causes of the elasticity, (4)
*why cigerattes are taxed (4)
*if cigerattes were made illegal what would be the economic effects(6)

second = (a) advantages of division of labour
(b) how money effects the barter system

third = (a) "the free market price is determined by the rationing and allocating system" explain how this works
(b) the government provides some goods directly in the market, explain why

fouth = something about b.o.p.. buh i cant remember
