1) C, i didnt think IMF had any control over the forex market. but they did help developing countries with finanical problems and assistance

tat's World bank's thino~~~

 

[PhiL]

Yeh i got all of those answers but im pretty sure Q17 is B Because FL=FD + FE and in the first year:
FD + 90 = 150 {therefore FD = 60)

Second year:
FD + 250 = 300 {therefore FD = 50)
So i thought FD was in fact decreasing so it wasnt a so i but B).
THats my reasoning but someone will probably prove me wrong!

explain.... 15 has to be C, theres no other answer in there that net income could be. unless ommisions are a few million dollars that year!

 

[masteraal]

14B doesnt make sense...thats why i put it

export price/import price *100 gives u terms of trade
if export increases and import decreases obviously TOT goes up
it cannot by definition go down

therefore 14.A

 

[sgt]

ugh i'm stupid d for 6
i would like 15 to be C but masteraal convinced me otherwise
i still think b for 17... some1 back me up heh
i thought investment goes into capital account...20 A........ugh y not heh
ahh well 16/20 if those are right

 

[Shuter]

1) C, i didnt think IMF had any control over the forex market. but they did help developing countries with finanical problems and assistance

10) C (interest rates will increaser to tight ecomony and lower inflation... decrease in income tax rates [is that the percentage not the bracket??] which will encourage people to become employed, thus increase umemployment)

14) B, think this could have been which ever way you interpert it... i thought TOT will deteriorate becuase less exports will be sold and more imports bought, > worsening of TOT)

15) C for sure, two accounts = 0

17) A, net foreign is still increasing but at a slower rate. Although i can see B being right too.

thats my reasons...

1. No, the IMF is to smooth out currencies resulting in trade being more reliable. D is 100% the correct answer.

10. Please explain how encouraging people to be employed will increase unemployment.

14. Terms of trade is export/price over import price. I think I just didn't read the question.

that's right, two accounts equal 0 therefore current + Cap&Fin = 0 therefore current account = -Cap&financial. I fucked this but it'a A not C.

Net foreign debt is not increasing, Netforiegn liabilities = net foriegn debt + net foreign equity. Answer is B.

[Shuter]

How bout that the only 2 I got wrong were 14 and 15, I must have been distracted or something, they were just silly silly errors. There was a fucking teacher talking loudly at that point I think.

I'm not sure if theyre right, 18/20 for me too. Or it could be 19, not sure.

Anyway, one of the deputy principals at school set this test. He was responsible for Short Answer, which I thought, in his words, was 'searching'

Last year the average score on m/c was 15.8 Board Of Studies heard that and went 'No Bloody Way Mate' so they had to make it really hard this year. I have a feeling the average is going to be signifigantly below that this year.

I think its the World Bank thats responsible for lending money etc to poor, developing countries.

 

[nova]

17. is definitly (B)

Year 1 - equity as proportion of foreign liabilities is 60%
Year 2 - equity as proportion of foreign liabilities is 83 1/3%

Therefor answer B - Equity investment as a proportion of foreign liabilities is increasing.

 

[CharlieB]

meh... i think i got 19/20 damn q14

 

[ar5ena1]

surely 17 has to be (B) - how do we know anythign about NET foriegn liabilities, the only statics we have are on foriegn liabilities, there is a major difference, hence the only correct answer is B.

19/20

 

[dancegal]

i got b for 17 too...i thought net foreign debt decreased from 60 to 50 and equity investment increased from 60% to around 80% of foreign liabilities
those mc were soooooo hard..was 14 a or b coz i got b??? if the value of the $ increases doesnt that make our exports more expensive, imports cheaper and therefor a deterioration of terms of trade?

 

[sgt]

looks like 17 must be B......sic 17/20 for me...would 'ave liked 20...ugh i'm losing site of a band 6

 

[disco_dave]

yeah i admit i think i got them all wrong that i thought i got right. SHIT, should have read a few more times...
