B, because unemployment does not mean, resources not used to their maximum efficiency, it just mean that there ain't any more jobs ...

What is Aus source of imports?
a) ETMS
b) STMS

I have no idea what ETM and STM mean.. lol.. so you wanna tell me??

It is now costing more to buy a Japanese TV, I can't remember which one's which, but I fink inelastic mean doesn't matter the price, the demand is still the same.. or is it the other one? Where the demand will change with the price of the good. But anywayz.. I say C...

yeah the first question is a bit iffy.

the 2nd bit is definitely a though.

 

[jmac101]

the first one is definitely a. whenever u see ppc or ppf u always relate that to opportunity cost.although b is valid, the simple presence of ppc means that it is talking about opportunity cost

Chapter 1 from memory.

STM - simple - raw goods - i.e. minerals

ETM - elaborate - processed goods - i.e. cars and computers
