help with the restoration of the area.
(a) With the help of diagrams explain what is meant by efficiency in the use of
resources. [12]
(b) Discuss the economic implications of the government’s approach to the situation.
[13]

question 5:
1.expl MRP -demand for labour and marginal factor cost regarding to the supply of labour.
2.using perfect compt. as a model,wage determination was established at the point of equilibrium-MRP=marginal factor cost(showing a diagram)
3.discuz influence of trade unions- trade union can affect wage rate by:
-improving productivity-by negotiating for better conditions and protecting the workforce, the unions may improve worker's output
-using industrial power e.g the threat of strikes to employers to pay more
- by restricting supply-only union members allowed to work here-reduce possible supply of labour and increases wage rate
unions can use their power to push up the price of labour. this caused a surplus and reduces the number employed. To try to increase pay and employment, unions must aim to increase productivity so that the D of L shifts outwards. (showing a diagram of collective bargaining by TU )
however, the power of tarde union depend on: the number of members; the legal environment etc.
4.discuz govt. intervene by introducing minimum wage and other relevant legislation
the minimum wage aims to -help low paid,may give more incentive to work (showing diagram)
howver, effect of minimum wage depends on how far above equilibrium the minimum wage is set and elasticity of supply and demand of labour.
5.discuz monopsony - single dominant buyer,in a strong bargaining position; wage maker
faces upward sloping supply curves- they need to increase wages to attract more workers. they must to increase wage for the last worker and all the ones before;this means the marginal cost of labour is higher than the av. wage rate(showing a diagram)
6.other imperfections include
-wage difference- quasi-pecuniary benefits;labour immobility- both occupational and geographical; lack of infomation
-employers may not be profit maximizers
- expolitation
7. differences in individual earnings:
e.g -ability and skills
-non-monetary characteristics
- age
-gender and race
-location
-demand for individual
i think that's all from me.
Sir,How was it?

(a) Firstly we will define the term investment . Investment is of two types : Direct investment which involves the purchase of physical capital, be it in the form of factories, machine, tools etc, houses etc and portfolio investment which involves purchases of shares, debenture, stocks etc. Factors influencing investment are changes in the productivity of capital, changes in the price of capital, changes in the AD, firms future expectation about market conditions, changes in technological progress, changes in government policy like changes in grants, corporation taxes, investment tax allowances etc, changes in the profit level, business debt level, avaliablity of finance, surplus capital stocks. We will explain these factors through the help of diagram of MEC(marginal Efficiency of capital )
(B) Private investment refers to an expenditure by both local and foreign firms to produce capital.
National income statistics gives an economy's aggregate income or output or expenditure measure in one year.
Private investment is one of the determinant of national income but not the most important as there are other ways too.
Firstly, the aggregate demand cuts 450 line. Secondly, the injections curve cuts the withdrawals curve and thirdly the AD curve cuts the AS curve .. Will explain each with diagrams ..
Will also explain that investment is one of the component of Ad and it is an injection any increase in investment will cause N.I to increase by multiple amount.
