Edexcel A-level Economics(A) Paper 2 12th June 2018 [Exam Discussion]

Can someone explain to me why it’s not 125% I genuinely don’t understand how you can get any other answer

Could micro finance be considered a role of the financial sector? (15 marker)

Development will definitely come up. According to my Economics teacher, it's because all the examiners are socialists.

My reasoning was that if 2015 is the base year at 100 then the 4% increase in 2016 makes it 104. What did you do?

1) facilitates saving-increase in savings gap- harrad domar analysis
2) lends to firms and consumers-promotes businesses-increased growth
3)purchuse stocks in futures market- lack of price volatility
i evaluated buy discussing diffrent market failures in financial sector e.g. externalities and market bubbles
can anyone confirm if this is right?

Microfinance is an IMF/World Bank scheme. Not linked to financial sector which is all about spending saving etc...

For the 2 macro policies could you say 1) stronger trade unions and a higher minimum wage. 2) increased regulations on TNCs to limit things like tax evasion. I couldn't think of anything else to write

For the government policies questions where you had to give two but they couldn’t be protectionism I wrote
Supply side policy of NMW
and transfer pricing
Do you think they were wrong

My reasoning was that if 2015 is the base year at 100 then the 4% increase in 2016 makes it 104. What did you do?

I read it as if it had gone from 3.2% to 4% so there had been a 0.8% increase and because 3.2% was the base year I divide it by that to find out the percentage increase 25% so it was a 125% increase

Guys for 15 marker i wrote that financial sector commercial banks can lend money cheaply so consumers borrow more, Ad rises and growth occurs

And that financial sector mainly banks are protected from failing, so they will unergo riskier decisions such as borrowing to risky consumers that will default on loans, leading to government bailing them out, and there is opportunity cost as this cash could be used to finance a policy to encourage growth and development..

Is that right
