factor immobility
What about the normal good relating to income elasticity and price elasticity? I said both were positive?

i doubt it :frown: you didn't define income


How about "it's an unequal distribution on income between the rich and the poor. Income is a flow of money and this generally represent skills in of people e.g. bankers on average make more than a cashier" for some reason my mind went blank so I tried my best to explain what I meant. Argh.

The question about what is associated with market failures is negative externalities btw, it came up on a previous paper.

There were two questions on normal goods /inferior goods I think - if my memory is right, the first was about the effect of a fall in incomes - for that I think the answer was that demand for goods Y and Z only would increase.

It's okay, I think I said something like income is the wages paid to an individual after tax deductions and when assets like stocks and shares are added, and inequality means that there is an uneven distribution and therefore a disparity between the incomes of the individuals in an economy. Something like that?

Good on the whole, I suspect grade boundaries will be a little bit lower than last year maybe.

I'm just wondering - for the multiple choice, did any of you end of with the answer D for questions 7, 8, 9 AND 10? Or something similar - I can't remember. I was a bit surprised to end up with four in a row but I suppose Iwas confident of the answer being D at the time!


Yes.

it said gas prices rose 18% or something? then what does the data infer
what about the last mcq question on monopoly? the answers were like high prices lead to market failure, product differentiation has low barriers of entry and others i forgot.

Is that multiple choice? I remember there being one about inelastic demand of -0.6 and that an increase in price would cause the amount spent/revenues to increase but I can't seem to remember anything about British Gas? :frown:
