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)
I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code. ;)

2008:

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
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
