Another "tricky" one that tricked lots in my class the the Equilibrium of Income question.

They balanced but as exports where higher or (lower??) i'm pretty sure the answer was B
Exports were higher than imports, so that ruled out the trade deficit option. Therefore, answer was B (surplus)

Q18 is defs $2. They show you the vertical distance between the two on the graph -> its just not that clear at the equilibrium point -> look a bit left of that

I took the exam paper?
didn't anyone else?
Yeah I took my exam paper too, we're allowed to haha. I also circled my answers on my question booklet as I went so I could check if I coloured in the right bubbles later.
(and that actually helped cause near the end I realised I coloured the wrong bubbled by accident)

I chose D for question 9, but my teacher said the answer was B because a lowering of the cash rate meant more disposable income and since Y=C+S it meant that there was a rise in both consumption and savings. I chose B because the interest rate is lower meaning there is less incentive to save. Thoughts?

Na mate. D. The question said all things being equal. Your teacher looked too deep into it.

Your teacher is wrong. The answer is D because a decrease in interest rates means it encourages further borrowing in the economy for both investors and consumers and thus increase in AD (as AD = C+I+G+(X-M)). It also reduces savings ratio because there is less return from term deposits. Hence answer is D. A rise in consumer spending and household savings rate. Your teacher shouldn't see teaching you if he/she didn't know that...
