Short answers were quite simple. I didn't even get a chance to look at micro policy at all (blame it on bad study habits) but I used business studies knowledge for the employment relations question!

vaniLLa_554,

You'd be looking at (50-30) x (15-10) = 20 x 5 = $100

Yep short answers were pretty pie, multiple choice there were a few cunts, essays weren't too bad.

I don't know why they sent out a memo advising social science head teachers to ammend the syllabus from "students should study an economy other then australia" to "students must study and economy other then australia" when it didn't appear exclusively as an essay question.

i understand how it increases foreign investment flows but also otehr investors lose confidence in the economy and the overall downturn has to lead toa depreciation, personlaly i think it can be both lets jus hope the markers think so aswell.

Increasing interest rates to higher than overseas makes them more profitable, hence more foregn investors would demand more $AUD, thus appreciating it.

Can someone help me clarify one of the short answers, for the one about the currency movememnt of the AUD in relation to the US, was it appreciation or depreciation, personally i thought it was the former :/
