Q. 21 Ans. is D
Q. 27 Ans. is B
Q.29 Ans. is A
Q. 30 Ans. is D
Thanks in advance!! :)

Que 21 - TOT = Avg export price index/ Avg import price index.
This case you're supposed to find the numerator. so work the math and it has to be (150/125)*100 = 120. SO the increase in X receipts = 50%

Que 27 - Opt A = -41 + (13 28) = 0 BOP balances.
Opt B = 44 + 12 + 25 = 81
Opt C = -32 -5 - 37 = -74
Opt D = -15 - 17 +4 = -28.
So greatest disequilibrium is in Opt B. Note that disequilibrium doesn't always mean deficit. A persistent deficit or a persistent surplus, both can be a disequi.

Que 29 - Opt B C n D leads to a rightward shift in the supply. Only 1st one increases demand for pounds. So ans = A

Que 30 - you know for devaluation to be successful in improving the BOT, the PED for both exports and imports needs to be greater than 1. so ans D says that!

Oh and BTW i was thinking bout the 27th que, it says that there's increased international competition, so maybe imports are actually cheaper. So it would reduce the domestic inflation and as for exch.rate, cheaper the imports more will be imported resulting with a depreciation. So it comes to D, the answer!
I GUESS SO!

Nope, the answer is A, mark scheme is wrong...
ordinary shareholders fund are for the ordinary only, which means that it doesnt include the preferrence shareholders....
shareholders fund are alllll,, share capital + all the reserves

Hope that helped....

what so rocket science in it...yar just concentrate on the wordings..

24. Price rise in each item in the table is greater than 2.5% but the value of CPI was 2.5%. Thus price rise in other items must have been less than 2.5% to give an avg of 2.5%. Answer is C

25. Increase in oil prices will increase CPI but the rate of increase in inflation is likely to fall bcoz the rate of increase in oil price is less in year 2 than 1.
(Year1=83.33%, Year2=4.54%).
Answer is C
