    Any one could you explain when country is deficit, local currency weaken and it is Export more goods and service??
  5. Alam
    it means the country is spending more than earning, weakens currency and its exported goods' prices decrease as well and therefore have to export more

    Is the inelastic curve not supposed to be less steep that the elastic curve? Or maybe I didn't understand the question
  8. kengarrettTutor
    Sketch a PQ graph PQ graph with P vertical and Q horizontal. Draw two lines on it, sloping down to the right, at different slopes.

    The less steep line says that a small change in price produces a large change in quantity. That is an elastic characteristic.

    The steeper line shows that it takes a large change in price to produce a change in quantity, so that is an inelastic product.

    So, the line for an inelastic product is steeper than for an elastic product.

    Therefore the proposition in the question is FALSE.
  9. kengarrettTutor
    Not sure what you mean. However, an example of complimentary products are cars and petrol.

    If the price of petrol falls, this can stimulate more people to buy cars as they can better afford to run them. Or, if the price of cars falls then more will be bought and also more petrol will be bought to run the cars.

    Can you please explain what is subsidies for production?
  11. kengarrettTutor
    These are payment to producers, usually from governments. Effectively, they lower the cost of production so that producers are encouraged to produce more.

    hard to get a pass rate especially in demand and supply curve.
  14. Hunain
    please send me the procedure of question number 1
  15. poddubny
    Hi. The change in demand is 10k-9k=1k; proportional is 1k/10k = 10%
    Change in price is 25-20 = 5; proportional is 5/20=25%
    Price elasticity of demand is proportional change in demand/proportional change in price => 10/25 = 0.4

  22. Ralitsa
    The latest notes you have for this exam end with page 103
  23. kengarrettTutor
    The notes end at page 140.
  24. Ralitsa
    nowhere in the notes is the cost curve shift discussed
  25. kengarrettTutor
    They are discussed on Page 133 of the current notes. Question 5 should refer to a shift in supply curves, not cost curves and this will soon be changed. Apologies for the error.
  26. pacos76
    First and last questions not very clear
  27. pacos76
    Not clear last question, many people have issues here
  28. khalil
    man the first question is wrong it is missing the word price
  29. kengarrettTutor
    There is no other elasticity of demand you can calculate with this data or any other elasticity of demand that is in the syllabus or study guide, which states: 5. b) Explain elasticity of demand and the impact of substitute and complementary goods.
  30. tree21
    Can anyone give me the answer because I keep failed.
  31. kengarrettTutor
    I think it's OK.
  32. stefenite
    Is it "cost curve" in the last qustion or maybe the supply curve is right?
  33. ghassen2018
    Same here i did not understant the question, and I did not pass, any one can help please
  34. kengarrettTutor
    See pages 132 and 133 in the notes where shifting of a cost curve to the right is explained.
