    Study Notes

    Microeconomics

    • Entrepreneurship is NOT a factor of production.

    Demand Curve

    • The market demand curve is downward sloping, meaning that as price increases, quantity demanded decreases.

    Elasticity of Demand

    • If the price of cashew nuts rises from £1 per kg to £2 per kg, the quantity demanded decreases from 20,000 kgs to 10,000 kgs, indicating an elastic demand.
    • A 1% increase in price of Walker crisps leads to a 2% decrease in demand, indicating an elastic demand.

    Demand and Supply Shift

    • A 25% increase in income shifts the demand curve for branded clothes to the right, suggesting that branded clothes are a normal good.

    Consumer Behavior

    • Total utility will fall whenever the marginal utility of a good becomes negative.

    Budget Analysis

    • Nicola's budget line will have a slope of -6/0.65, indicating the trade-off between films and sodas.

    Production and Scaling

    • Constant returns to scale occur when a proportionate change in inputs leads to an equal proportionate change in output.

    Inflation Rate

    • If year 1 is the base year, and the price index for year 2 and year 3 are 105 and 103 respectively, the inflation rate in years 2 and 3 are 5% and 3% respectively.
    • The statement "The inflation rate in year 2 is higher than in year 3" is correct.
