the 6 marker was basically the opposite of a public good right? so it was rivalry and excludable. the 4 marker i got like 700 thousand or something you needed to find percentage change which was -0.16

that's what i was thinking but i'm not too sure but yea i got some random answer for 4 marker i should still get some marks for correct equation

yh same but for evaulation, i said in long term, their supply is diminished so theyre not acting rationally enough to think about long term consequences

i should of mentioned that for my evaluation. dont you feel like section A was shorter than usual?

but many people in my school said section a was harder than old past papers ? idk

i went in order so started with A. How did you find the 10 marker? i had nothing to talk about so i just did defintion of negative ext one point and one evaluation, my point was that its rational for firms to act like that since they want to maximise profits

the 10 markers was easy, you just had to talk about how it rational in the short run because they were catching as many fish as they can and in the long run it was irrational because they were not thinking about the long term effects cause like theyll be overfishing so they wont have much fish in the long run and theres also the environmental effect of it

you right. i said that people can store their bitcoins as assets that can depreciate or apreciate overtime, that goes under store of value so i should be good

i would say as long as you drew diagrams, you should be able to do score real high, economists love diagrams, not too much about fancy words
