President Jacob Zuma’s cabinet has approved the implementation of the national minimum wage and government policy and wants it to take effect in May 2018 at R3 200 a month or R20 per hour. Some low-income professions such as farm workers and domestic workers would however be exempted. Unions have mixed reaction to minimum wage announcement. Cosatu and Fedusa welcomed the policy, stating that it will help us reduce inequality and poverty. Income is very important for the working people. This will help stimulate the economy because more consumers will be able to spend more money on the economy. South African Federation of Trade Unions (Saftu), rejected it. [Source: Adapted: ECONOMY, 5 November 2017] 2.3.1 Identify from the extract TWO groups of workers who are not included in this minimum wage agreement.  Farm workers   Domestic workers  (2) 2.3.2 Briefly describe the concept minimum wage.

Minimum wage is good for South Africa because it can:  Reduce the income inequalities and poverty   Stimulate economic growth   Lead to higher productivity by workers   Increase demand for goods and services because low income earners will have money to spend  (Accept any relevant, correct response.) (2 x 2) (4) 2.4 Distinguish between a perfect market and a monopoly with regard to prices, profit, quantity and cost. Prices The monopolist produces at higher prices than the perfect competitor  Profit: Under perfect competition, only normal profit will be made in the long term;  the monopolist, on the other hand, can make economic profit in both the short and long term  Quantity: The monopolist produces less than the perfect competitor.  Cost: The monopolist does not produce at the lowest possible cost due to a lack of competition, whilst the perfect competitor will always produce at the lowest possible cost due to competition.  (4 x 2) (8) 2.5 How will new entrants in the perfect competitive market impact on the profit levels of existing businesses? New entrants in perfect markets will impact on profit levels of existing businesses in that:  New firms enter the market when existing businesses make economic profits in order to benefit from the profits   This increases the market supply.   the increase in supply leads to lower price levels of goods and services.   This causes smaller/lower profit than previously.   Production increases, until some businesses cannot cover their average variable cost any more  causing the shut down and exit the market.   Only normal profits are realised in the long run.  (4 x 2) (Accept any correct, relevant answer.)

Firm will make a loss, because all firms in the perfect market are price takers and cannot influence the market price.  (2) 3.2 Study the information below and answer the questions that follow. THE DEMAND CURVE OF AN OLIGOPOLISTIC FIRM The demand curve of an oligopolistic firm was developed in 1939 by the American economists Paul Sweezy. The kinked demand curve illustrates the importance of interdependence and uncertainty in an oligopolistic market and explains why there is a degree of price stability in such a market. Each firm will face a market demand curve with two segments for its product. The two segments are elastic and inelastic. 3.2.1 Who developed the theory on the demand curve of an oligopolistic firm? Paul Sweezy  (1) 3.2.2 What is the demand curve of an oligopolist firm called? Kinked demand curve  (1) 3.2.3 Briefly explain an inelastic demand. Demand is not sensitive to a price change.  A change in price causes a small change in demand.  (1 x 2) (2) 3.2.4 Explain mutual dependence as a characteristic of oligopoly.  One seller’s action will influence the other sellers   Each firm is aware of each other’s actions since the market is dominated by a few firms, e.g. cars.  (1 x 2) (2) Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 7 Downloaded from hlayiso.com (EC/JUNE 2018) ECONOMICS P2 7 3.2.5 Draw a fully labelled kinked demand curve, indicating the segments and equilibrium.

JASCO GIVES UP ON CROSS FIRE ACQUISITION Jasco Electronics Holdings has terminated a planned acquisition of Cross Fire Management after the competition authorities ruled against the merger last month. The Competition Commission prohibited the proposed merger, saying it would likely “substantially prevent or lessen competition in the provision of active fire protection systems”, particularly in the Western Cape and Gauteng regions.

(2 x 2) (4) 3.3.4 In your opinion how will the economy benefit from fair competition? The economy will benefit because fair competition will:  Open up opportunities for more entrepreneurs to join in to businesses   Create more job opportunities   Lead to higher standard of living   Contribute to lower prices   Contribute to better quality goods and services  (Accept any other relevant response.) (2 x 2) (4) 3.4 Distinguish between the short and long term/run. Short term/run  The short run is the period of production where only the variable factors of production can change.   The time period is too short to enable the number of firms in the industry to change.  (2 x 2) Long term/run  The long run is the period of production where all factors can change.   The time is long enough for variable and fixed factors to change.   It allows enough time for new firms to enter the industry and/or existing firms to exit.  (2 x 2) (8) Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 9 Downloaded from hlayiso.com (EC/JUNE 2018) ECONOMICS P2 9 3.5 Explain, with the aid of a well-labelled graph, the effect of providing subsidies to producers as a form of government intervention during market failure.

(10 marks) INTRODUCTION An oligopoly is a market structure that has few large sellers that dominate the market.  (Accept any correct relevant introduction.) (2) BODY Nature of the product  Products sold may be homogenous or differentiated.   If products are homogeneous it is called a homogeneous oligopoly – many industrial products are standardised for example steel products.   If products are differentiated it is a differentiated oligopoly  – these firms produce goods such as household appliances, electronics equipment, breakfast cereals.  (Max. 6) Control over price  Producers have considerable control over the price of their products, although not as much as in a monopoly.   Oligopolies can frequently change their prices in order to increase their market share.   This can result in a price war.  (Max. 6) Collusion  Collusion takes place when rival firms cooperate by raising prices and by restricting production in order to maximise their profits.  Cartel   When there is a formal agreement between firms to collude, it is called a cartel.   A cartel is a group of producers whose goal is to form a collective monopoly in order to fix prices and limit supply and competition.   In general, cartels are economically unstable because there is a great incentive for members not to stick to the agreement, to cheat by cutting prices, illegally and to sell more than the quotas set by the cartel.   Although there is an incentive to collude there is also an incentive to compete.   This has caused many cartels to be unsuccessful in the long term.  Some well- known cartels are the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and De Beers diamonds in South Africa.  Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 16 Downloaded from hlayiso.com 16 ECONOMICS P2 (EC/JUNE 2018) Overt/formal collusion   Overt/Formal collusion e.g. cartels are generally forbidden by law in most countries   However, they continue to exist nationally and internationally.  Tacit collusion   Sometimes in an oligopoly market, a dominant firm will increase the price of a product in the hope that its rivals will see this as a signal to do the same   This is referred to as price leadership.  (Max. 14) (26) ADDITIONAL PART How can firms in an oligopoly increase their market share in the economy? Oligopolies can increase their market share by using various strategies such as:  Engaging in product differentiation, where the products are made to be slightly different in terms of physical appearance, packaging etc.   Improving after-sale-services that are far more important to customers and will ensure a long-term relationship with that business   Aggressive advertising to lure consumers onto their side   Establishing brand loyalty, because oligopolies want consumers to believe that its brand is the best and to buy only that brand   Engaging in product proliferation whereby oligopolies produce many different ranges of products to cater for many different markets   Extending shopping hours to encourage greater flexibility to households   Selling products online to make it easier for customers to shop around without any additional costs  and a variety of goods is made available to make comparisons.   Paying loyalty rewards to customers for continued support.  (Accept any other relevant, correct response.) (10) CONCLUSION Oligopolies can control the supply of the product or service on the market, in order to keep its prices and profits high.  (Accept any other high order conclusion.)

(10 marks) INTRODUCTION Market failure occurs when the forces of demand and supply fail to allocate resources efficiently.  (Accept any relevant introduction.) (2) BODY Imperfect competition  Competition in market economies is limited by the power of certain producers to prevent new businesses from entering the market. This is imperfect competition.   Barriers to entry are created because of advertising, a lack of capital and the controlling of resources.   The imperfect market does not allow for price negotiations.   Advertising is used to promote producer sovereignty (dominance), which encourages consumers to buy existing products and allows producers to delay new products from entering the market until it is in their own interest  (e.g. businesses have had the technology to produce long-life light bulbs for many years but have chosen not to launch them in the market).  (8) Merit and demerit goods Merit goods:  These are highly desirable for general welfare, but not highly rated by the market, e.g. health care, education and safety.   If people had to pay the market price for them, very little would be consumed.   The market fails because the market produces less than the desired quantity.  Demerit goods:  These are over-consumed goods,  e.g. cigarettes, alcohol and drugs.   Thus more of the goods are produced than is socially desirable.   The government bans or reduces consumption of these products through taxation, and provides information to the population on their harmful effects.  (Max. 10) Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 18 Downloaded from hlayiso.com 18 ECONOMICS P2 (EC/JUNE 2018) Immobility of factors of production  Labour takes time to move from one area to another.   The supply of skilled labour cannot be increased because of the time it takes to be trained or educated.   Physical capital, like factory buildings or infrastructure such as telephone lines cannot be reallocated easily.   Structural changes like a change from producing plastic packets to paper packets or shifting from labour-intensive production to computer based production requires a change in labourers’ skills, employment and work patterns.   This takes time to change.  (Max. 8) (26) NOTE: A maximum of 8 x 1 marks will be allocated for headings. ADDITIONAL PART Maize Production Possibility Curve A E B  D Mark allocation Shape = 1 ineffecient point= 2 Label of axes= 1 C A Cars  Productive inefficiency can be explained with the aid of the productive possibility curve.   The Production Possibility Curve (AA), above shows a combination of goods that can be produced using all the available resources.   Any point on the curve shows a combination of goods where resources will be used efficiently.   Therefore any point on the curve indicates Productive/Technical efficiency   Any point to the left of the curve such as D, indicates that some resources are unused. If this occurs some customers may be deprived of goods.   This depicts productive inefficiency.  (Max. 6) CONCLUSION When market failures occur, it causes inefficiency and misallocation of resources and the government will have to intervene to recover the instability.  (Accept any relevant conclusion.)
