Version 1 of 5 — Total Marks: 40

Section A: Data Interpretation (16 marks)

Q1 [2 marks]

Country A unemployment was lower than Country B in all years (e.g., 2019: 3.2% vs 5.1%) [1].
Both fell from 2020 peaks by 2022, but Country B remained higher (5.4% vs 3.6%) [1]. Teaching note: Compare both levels and trend using comparative language. Common mistake: stating only one country.

Q2 [2 marks]

Real GDP growth for Country A fell from 2019 to 2020, then recovered from 2021 to 2022 [1].
Overall volatile but returned near pre-pandemic levels [1]. Teaching note: Describe direction and turning point.

Q3 [2 marks]

Inflation rose from 0.5% in 2020 to 3.4% in 2022 [1].
More than six-fold increase indicating accelerating inflation [1]. Teaching note: Use table values explicitly.

Q4 [2 marks]

Price level rose steadily from 100 (2018) to 103 (2020) then accelerated to 115 by 2022 [1].
Shows increasing inflation rate [1]. Teaching note: Read graph values, note change in slope.

Q5 [2 marks]

Nation Q spent more per capita than Nation P each year (e.g., 2021: $3550 vs$ 2700) [1].
Both increased, but gap persisted (~$850) [1]. Teaching note: Compare levels and trend.

Q6 [2 marks]

Exports fluctuated: rose 2017–18, fell 2019–20, then rose to 450b in 2021 [1].
Net increase over period [1]. Teaching note: Bar heights show variation.

Q7 [2 marks]

Region N (98.5%) higher than Region M (91.2%) [1].
Difference of 7.3 percentage points [1]. Teaching note: Simple comparison with values.

Q8 [2 marks]

Cyclical pattern due to 2020 spike (6.5%) from normal ~4% [1].
Observation: sharp rise then fall back [1]. Teaching note: Spike indicates cyclical shock.

Section B: Source-Based Analysis (12 marks)

Q9 [2 marks]

Producers receive higher price and may sell more at supported price [1]; revenue increases [1]. Teaching note: Min price above eq → benefit farmers.

Q10 [2 marks]

Consumers face higher rice prices [1]; switch to imports reduces choice or raises reliance [1]. Teaching note: Unintended: behaviour change.

Q11 [2 marks]

High PES (>1) because capacity adjustable quickly [1]; supply responsive to price [1]. Teaching note: Time to adjust = key PES determinant.

Q12 [2 marks]

Low PES (<1) due to training time [1]; supply inelastic short run [1]. Teaching note: Contrast with Q11.

Q13 [2 marks]

GDP fell ( $500b→$ 480b) [1]; unemployment rose (3%→5%) [1]. Teaching note: Identify two from extract.

Q14 [2 marks]

Reduce unemployment / stimulate growth [1]; e.g., expansionary policy [1]. Teaching note: Link to worsened indicators.

Section C: Applied Data Response (12 marks)

Q15 [2 marks]

% change = (12.0−28.0)/28.0 × 100 = −57.1% [2 for calculation]. Working: (New−Old)/Old×100. Teaching note: Tourism dropped sharply in 2020, partial recovery.

Q16 [2 marks]

Outward shift due to resource growth or tech improvement [1]; e.g., more labour [1]. Teaching note: PPC shift = capacity increase.

Q17 [2 marks]

2020 deficit (200−210=−10b) [1]; 2022 surplus (230−225=+5b) [1]. Teaching note: Trade balance = X−M.

Q18 [2 marks]

Negative externality reduced but prices rose [1]; net welfare ambiguous [1]. Teaching note: Trade-off in policy.

Q19 [2 marks]

Inverse relationship: higher price → lower real GDP [1]; downward sloping AD [1]. Teaching note: AD negative slope from wealth/interest effects.

Q20 [2 marks]

Older group saves more due to near retirement / lower commitments [1]; life-cycle reason [1]. Teaching note: Age affects saving behaviour.
