So what was the answer? It must have been more than $4 then.

 

[PG5]

how would u explain the per kilogram then? this is confusing...

 

[AGB]

wot do u mean the per kilogram thing?

 

[PG5]

wasn't the question...
how much subsidy did the government provide per kilogram?

 

[AGB]

yeah.....and the answer was $4....but the full effect of a subsidy is not passed on to the consumer unless the demand curcve is vertical

 

[Rand]

The Question asked per kilogram but the VERTICAL scale said PER KILOGRAM!

Why I think it cant be $3

I got $3 - dont know where the 4 came from.
Equilibrium moved from 13 to 10

BUT originally, equilibrium was achieved at $10. So why would the government implement a subsidy if the market was already at equilibrium (at equil., imports=0)?

The only reason the government would ever implement a subsidy is if the world price was lower than the equilibrium price.

Thus, subsidy = $4

I simply CANNOT believ that the Question was worth only 1 mark, I mean, most people probably got it wrong!

Oh well, that is the Catholic paper I guess

The exam sounded difficult, hope all u guys went well

If u look at the past 2 HSC papers (2001, 2002), u'll find that the HSC exams are far more straightforward

 

[Kumar]
