7 2.3 Study the extract below and answer the questions that follow. Putting a value on nature could set the scene for true green economy The living fabric of this planet - its ecosystems and biodiversity are in rapid decline worldwide. This is visible and clear and is variously due to commercial over-exploitation, or population pressures, or a raft of unhelpful policies, or some combination. At a very fundamental human level, however, it is due to the lack of awareness that there is a problem with human society being disconnected from nature. Economics is blamed for much of our woes these days and credited with little, so two questions need to be asked: is economics part of the problem of ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss? Or is it part of the solution? Source: South Africa Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism Which branch of economics studies ecosystem and biodiversity?

15 2.5 Discuss changes in the exchange rate as an effect of business cycle. Aggregate demand increases during expansion and decreases during contraction. When demand increases in countries that use goods imported from South Africa, exports from South Africa increase. The countries that buy South African products will need more rand to pay for these goods. When the demand for our rand increases, its value increases, or we say the rand becomes stronger. Therefore when exports increase, the exchange rate appreciates. The decrease in demand for our goods means that there is also a reduced demand for the rand, as fewer payments need to be made in rand. As a result, the rand exchange value depreciates. (8) (Accept any other relevant response) QUESTION 3: MACROECONOMICS 3.1 Answer the following questions: Name TWO turning points in a business cycle. peak / trough / (2 x 1) (2) Why are economic indicators important to the government?

There will be a leakage of R20 / less consumer spending / availability of loanable funds in the financial institutions (2) (Accept any other relevant response) 3.3 Data response Identify the average price level and equilibrium quantity at point E? Average price = 10 Equilibrium quantity = 100 (2 x 1) (2) Explain why we use the term aggregate demand (AD) and not demand (DD). Business cycle is a macroeconomic issue which affects the economy and all its role players (2) (Accept any other relevant response) What do you think can happen to consumption expenditure during the expansionary phase? It will increase / AD will shift to the right and form a new AD curve, AD1 (2) Mention any TWO factors that could cause AD to shift to the Right. Consumption expenditure / investment expenditure / net government expenditure/ net foreign expenditure (2 x 2) (4) 3.4 Discuss the exogenous reasons for business cycle. Weather conditions Changes in the weather conditions affect agricultural production, and therefore the level of economic performance. Money supply An oversupply or undersupply of money circulating in the economy due to inappropriate government policies may results in inflation economic disequilibrium. Structural changes This cause economic resources to become redundant in one sector and move to another sector. Shocks Events such as the sharp increase in the price of oil in the 1970s, 11/09/2011 tragedy in USA and the collapse of emerging Economies cause distortions which create business cycles. Political reasons The decisions and actions of politicians can cause the economy to go into a particular phase of the business cycle. For example, a prolonged depression which is still continuing today in Zimbabwe followed 6
17 after the 2008 elections. Foreign trade A country that trades a lot with other countries is likely to be affected by the business cycles of its trading partners. If a major trading nation is in recession, its trading partners will also experience the slump in their economies. Psychological reasons Sometimes business cycles are caused by what people believe about the economy. If most people are positive about the future of the country, the economy may enter the expansion phase. Natural disasters The occurrences such as floods, prolonged drought, earthquakes or tsunamis may destroy or damage crops, factories, machinery, transport links and storage facilities which may cause a reduction in output and sends the economy into a downswing. (Any 4 x 2) (8) 3.5 With the use of formulae explain income and expenditure as methods for calculating GDP. Income method GDP is determined by adding up the income earned by the factors of production within the borders of the country. GDP = wages + rent + profit + interest Expenditure method GDP is determined calculating the total expenditure on all final goods and services produced within the borders of the country. GDP = C +G + I + (X - M) (8) [40] TOTAL SECTION B: 40 7

Analyse the role of participants in a closed economy. (26) Explain why South Africa is regarded as an open economy. (10) INTRODUCTION The circular-flow model of the economy is a simplification showing how the economy works and the relationship between income, production and spending in the economy as a whole. The circular-flow model of a closed economy shows the workings of an economy that excludes foreign trade. (Accept any other relevant introduction) (Max. 2) BODY: MAIN PART Consumers / Households A household may be described as an individual or a group of people who live together and who make joint economic decisions They are the primary economic participants, for they own the factors of production 8
19 Households offer the factors of production for sale in the factor market and receive wages, interest, rent and profit in return They use the income to buy goods and services from businesses in the goods market They use the goods and services to satisfy their needs and wants Consumers do not always spend all their money on goods and services, they also keep some of their money for use at a later date at financial institutions They also pay tax to the government in various forms and get public goods and services (Max. 10) Business enterprises / firms Firms are responsible for the creation of goods and services that will be bought by consumers in order to satisfy their needs and wants They use production factors purchased from households in the production process The goods and services are sold in the goods market to households, the government and also buyers in foreign countries The income received from households is used to pay for more factors of production or to buy capital goods Savings by households enable financial institutions to lend money to businesses who want money to start a business or improve an existing one They also make payments to the government mainly in the form of taxes A business can also receive a subsidy from the government for it to sell their product at lower prices to households They may also export goods and services to buyers in foreign countries (Max. 8) The public sector / government The term government refers to all levels of public sector local, provincial and national government, as well as public corporations such as Eskom and Transnet The aim of the state enterprises is to provide goods and services that private individuals or firms cannot or will not provide It also provides public goods that can be used by communities in general such as public schools, roads, street lights and refuse removal The government pays for the goods and services it buys from businesses or individual producers in the goods market It also pays subsidies to producers to enable them to sell a product to consumers at a lower price than what would have been possible It also makes transfer payments to people who are not able to take part in the economic activities (Max. 8) BODY : ADDITIONAL PART South Africa being an open economy means that it does a lot of business with the rest of the world Many goods and service produced by businesses in South Africa are sold to other countries These goods that we sell to the rest of the world are called exports - they include minerals, cars, food and chemicals 9
20 Households, businesses and government also buy many goods and services from other countries These goods that are produced in the rest of the world are called imports South Africa s imports consist mainly of capital and intermediate goods, which are used to produce goods and services (Max. 10) CONCLUSION Any relevant higher order conclusion that should include: A summary of what has been discussed without repeating facts already mentioned in the body. An opinion or valued judgement on the facts discussed. Additional support information to strengthen the discussion. A contradictory viewpoint with motivation. Recommendation. E.g. The circular flow model shows how various participants in the economy interact with one another, and how their behaviour determines the flows of income, spending and production in the economy (Max. 2) [40] (Accept any other relevant conclusion) QUESTION 6: MACROECONOMICS 40 MARKS 35 MINUTES Statistics South Africa and the South African Reserve Bank compiles our national income accounts that measure economic activity. With the use of a diagram explain prosperity and depression as phases of business cycle. (26) How can interest rates be used to smoothen economic fluctuations. (10) [40] INTRODUCTION Business cycle can be defined as the consecutive periods of increasing and decreasing economic activities of a country over a number of years. Many factors contribute to the upswing and downswing of economic activities like supply of power, investment in the country, productivity of the labour force etc (Accept any other relevant introduction) (Max 2) 10
21 MAIN PART Diagram Trend line Economic Activity prosperity depression Time Mark Allocation Correct naming of phases: 2 marks Correct labelling of axis: 2 marks Labelling of the trend line: 1 Correct shape of the cycle: 1 Total marks: 6 Phases of business cycle The prosperity phase Optimism encourages entrepreneurs to borrow money and buy new machinery and equipment More people are employed and production increases Factories work overtime and skilled workers become extremely scares Prices, wages, interest rates and profit increases Boom starts Everything seems go to the extreme Interest rates, salaries and wages increases to even higher levels and together with a much greater demand for raw materials, costs of business increase almost beyond control Inflation accelerates beyond previous high levels Some businesses start to realize that the prosperity phase cannot last forever But there are no disturbances yet (Max 10) The depression phase Characterised by general pessimism by households and businesses Spending of all sectors in the economy decrease drastically and consists mainly of expenditure Businesses shows poor profit, many makes losses and some get bankrupt Households cannot pay their debt 11
22 Have their furniture, motorcars and even the houses repossessed Many people loses their jobs and households income are low Many people find their work in the informal sector Inflation decrease and inflation falls At some stage, businesses start to realize that conditions are going to improve at some time and they first actions that will eventually lead to recovery (Max 10) ADDITIONAL PART Monetary policy is a policy used by the government to influence the supply of money in circulation at a certain stage during the business cycle A change in interest rates is the main way in which a government implements the policy Consumers often want to borrow money to buy consumer goods and services that they cannot afford such as expensive cars, fancy clothing, houses even jewellery during the prosperity phase of the business cycle When consumers borrow money from financial institutions, they have to pay interest Businesses also tend to borrow more money for investment purposes during a prosperity phase If there is too much money in circulation in the economy, it makes the inflation problem worse A government then tries to slow down consumer demand and other spending by increasing the basic interest rate that banks have to pay if they need to borrow money from the South African Reserve Bank If the bank acceptance rate increases, all other interest rates also increase this tends to discourage people from spending money they have to borrow, and this then decreases the demand for goods and services Entrepreneurs also borrow less money when interest rates are high Continuous increases in interest rates could lead to an economic recession (Max. 10) CONCLUSION E.g. Although we know the effects of business cycles, we prefer growth and dislike recession but business cycles will be part of our lives.
