you know they are over consumed because they are bad for health
also affect other individuals (third party)
consumers do not understand the external costs involved- information failure
state a few examples such as smoking, alcohol, pollution. that should do it.
you dont need an exact word for word text book definition.
another example, define efficiency
you can something alongs the lines of the quantity of units of goods/serviced produced by a certain individual over a certain period of time such as one hour. for example the quantity of exam papers marked by a examiner in an one hour period. its is measured as a numerical value. -

Re: AQA Economics 18th May 2012 Unit 1 Exam
Can someone explain this one to me please:

I thought the answer was D, but it is infact B.
-0.75 means its inelastic, and i thought as the price rises, demand decreases but my a smaller proportion than the increase in price. With this knowledge i still can't get my head around it, can someone explain please. -

Remember demand and supply curves have the assumption 'ceteris paribus' where everything will stay constant except the price. A change in price will move along the curve, a change in anything else shifts the curve. -
Re: AQA Economics 18th May 2012 Unit 1 ExamFor these types of ones its always the price, because as price changes quantity demanded changes, ie more is demanded at a lower price, therefore price does not remain constant. So the answer is B.(Original post by rss.914)

Demand falls by a smaller percentage compared to the change in price. e.g.
price = 100 demand = 100
Price up by 10% demand down by 5%
Original situation: 100 * 100 = 10000
New situation: 110 * 95 = 10450
Makes sense? -

D would be right if the good was elastic, but you are given knowledge that it is inelastic, so demand will not change very much after a price change.
So an increase in price means consumers still buy the good (as inelastic) = they spend more on the good. -
