GCEEconomicsUnit H460/03: Themes in EconomicsAdvanced GCEMark Scheme for June 2017Oxford Cambridge and RSA Examinations

H460/03Mark SchemeOCR (Oxford Cambridge and RSA) is a leading UK awarding body, providing a wide range ofqualifications to meet the needs of candidates of all ages and abilities. OCR qualificationsinclude AS/A Levels, Diplomas, GCSEs, Cambridge Nationals, Cambridge Technicals,Functional Skills, Key Skills, Entry Level qualifications, NVQs and vocational qualifications inareas such as IT, business, languages, teaching/training, administration and secretarial skills.It is also responsible for developing new specifications to meet national requirements and theneeds of students and teachers. OCR is a not-for-profit organisation; any surplus made isinvested back into the establishment to help towards the development of qualifications andsupport, which keep pace with the changing needs of today’s society.This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and students, to indicate the requirementsof the examination. It shows the basis on which marks were awarded by examiners. It does notindicate the details of the discussions which took place at an examiners’ meeting before markingcommenced.All examiners are instructed that alternative correct answers and unexpected approaches incandidates’ scripts must be given marks that fairly reflect the relevant knowledge and skillsdemonstrated.Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the published question papers and the reporton the examination.OCR will not enter into any discussion or correspondence in connection with this mark scheme.

H460/03Mark SchemeJune 2017Subject–specific Marking InstructionsINTRODUCTIONYour first task as an Examiner is to become thoroughly familiar with the material on which the examination depends. This material includes: the specification, especially the assessment objectives the question paper and its rubrics the mark scheme.You should ensure that you have copies of these materials.You should ensure also that you are familiar with the administrative procedures related to the marking process. These are set out in the OCRbooklet Instructions for Examiners. If you are examining for the first time, please read carefully Appendix 5 Introduction to Script Marking:Notes for New Examiners.Please ask for help or guidance whenever you need it. Your first point of contact is your Team Leader.USING THE MARK SCHEMEPlease study this Mark Scheme carefully. The Mark Scheme is an integral part of the process that begins with the setting of the question paper andends with the awarding of grades. Question papers and Mark Schemes are developed in association with each other so that issues ofdifferentiation and positive achievement can be addressed from the very start.This Mark Scheme is a working document; it is not exhaustive; it does not provide ‘correct’ answers. The Mark Scheme can only provide ‘bestguesses’ about how the question will work out, and it is subject to revision after we have looked at a wide range of scripts.The Examiners’ Standardisation Meeting will ensure that the Mark Scheme covers the range of candidates’ responses to the questions, and that allExaminers understand and apply the Mark Scheme in the same way. The Mark Scheme will be discussed and amended at the meeting, andadministrative procedures will be confirmed. Co–ordination scripts will be issued at the meeting to exemplify aspects of candidates’ responses andachievements; the co–ordination scripts then become part of this Mark Scheme.Before the Standardisation Meeting, you should read and mark in pencil a number of scripts, in order to gain an impression of the range ofresponses and achievement that may be expected.4

H460/03Mark SchemeJune 2017In your marking, you will encounter valid responses which are not covered by the Mark Scheme: these responses must be credited. You willencounter answers which fall outside the ‘target range’ of Bands for the paper which you are marking. Please mark these answers according to themarking criteria.Please read carefully all the scripts in your allocation and make every effort to look positively for achievement throughout the ability range. Alwaysbe prepared to use the full range of marks.Levels ofresponse /LeveldescriptorsKnowledge andunderstanding/ApplicationStrongGoodPrecision in the use of theterms in the question andapplied in a focused way tothe context of the question.AnalysisEvaluationAn explanation of causesand consequences, fullydeveloping the links in thechain of argument.A conclusion is drawn weighing up both sides, and reaches asupported judgement.An explanation of causesand consequences,developing most of thelinks in the chain ofargument.A conclusion is drawn weighing up both sides, but withoutreaching a supported judgement.ReasonableAwareness of the meaningof the terms in the questionand applied to the contextof the question.An explanation of causesand consequences, whichomit some key links in thechain of argument.Some attempt to come to a conclusion, which shows somerecognition of the influencing factors.LimitedAwareness of the meaningof the terms in the question.Simple statement(s) ofcause and consequence.An unsupported assertion.INSTRUCTIONS TO EXAMINERS:The indicative content indicates the expected parameters for candidates’ answers, but be prepared to recognise and credit unexpected approacheswhere they show relevance.Using ‘best-fit’, decide first which set of BAND DESCRIPTORS best describes the overall quality of the answer. Once the band is located, adjustthe mark concentrating on features of the answer which make it stronger or weaker following the guidelines for refinement.5

H460/03Mark SchemeJune 2017 Highest mark: If clear evidence of all the qualities in the band descriptors is shown, the HIGHEST Mark should be awarded. Lowest mark: If the answer shows the candidate to be borderline (i.e. they have achieved all the qualities of the bands below and showlimited evidence of meeting the criteria of the band in question) the LOWEST mark should be awarded. Middle mark: This mark should be used for candidates who are secure in the band. They are not ‘borderline’ but they have only achievedsome of the qualities in the band descriptors.Be prepared to use the full range of marks. Do not reserve (e.g.) high marks ‘in case’ something turns up of a quality you have not yet seen. If ananswer gives clear evidence of the qualities described in the band descriptors, reward appropriately.6

Textile firms produce goods ratherthan providing a service.BHSBC is not a manufacturing firm and textile firms process rather than extract raw materials.10AO1

H460/03QMark SchemeKeyRationaleCJune 2017AOHSBC is not a manufacturing firm and textile firms are not in the tertiary sector.DCorrect: HSBC operates in the tertiary/service sector of the economy and textile firms in thesecondary/manufacturing sector.15AACorrect: this should stimulate spending and as a result boost aggregate demand.BQuantitative easing is designed to increase the rate of inflation.CQuantitative easing involves the purchase of financial assets.D16AAO1Financial assets are purchased to increase the rate of inflation.ACorrect: strawberries and potatoes are competing for the scarce resource of land.BComposite supply is where one product services multiple markets.AO1CThis relates to the concept of derived demand, where demand is dependent upon demand in adifferent market.DStrawberries and potatoes are not produced alongside each other as part of the same productionprocess.17AACorrect: an inflation target means economic agents can predict future prices with more certainty.AO1BThis will have no direct impact on uncertainty, and could even worsen it if it means the budgetdeficit increases.CD18BThis is likely to increase uncertainty as it increases the likelihood of exchange rate volatility.This will increase uncertainty as individuals are less able to predict future income.AThis would occur if the price level was falling.AO1BCorrect: The rate of inflation has fallen from 1.5% to 0%.CThere is no inflation in 2015 as the price level is unchanged.DHyperinflation occurs when the price level is increasing at a rapid rate.11Quantitativeskills

H460/03Q19Mark SchemeKeyBRationaleAJune 2017AOChanging the tax rate is likely to change tax revenue.QuantitativeskillsAO1BCorrect: Tax revenue will initially increase as the tax rate increases but once it reaches a certainpoint any rise beyond that will result in tax revenue falling.20ACThis is only true at higher tax rates – the upper portion of the Laffer curve.DThis is only true at lower tax rates – the lower portion of the Laffer curve.ACorrect: This is essential for survival.BThis is a want, it is possible to survive without it.CThis is a want, it is possible to survive without it.D21BCThis is a want, it is possible to survive without it.AThis is a supply side policy that should shift AS to the right.BCorrect: This will reduce disposable income and cause consumption to fall.CThis is expansionary monetary policy that should shift AD to the right.D22AO1/AO3/AO1/This is a supply side policy that should shift AS to the right.AThis is the gain in consumer surplus but does not account for the loss in domestic producer surplusand tariff revenue.BAO3This is the loss in domestic producer surplus and the loss in tariff revenue.CCorrect: The net gain excludes the transfer of welfare from producers and the government toconsumers (a c)D23CThis is the loss in tariff revenueAThe PPF gives no information about wants so it is impossible to assess allocative efficiency.BThere would be no opportunity cost of producing more of either good as there are spare resources.CCorrect: The economy is not productively efficient as not all factors of production are fully andefficiently employed.DThe PPF gives no information about wants so it is impossible to assess scarcity.12

H460/03Q24Mark SchemeJune 2017KeyRationaleAOBAAn excise duty will not affect the price of good B so there is no movement along the demand curvefor good B.AO2QuantitativeskillsBCorrect: The supply curve for good A will shift left, causing a contraction along the demand curve.Consumers will switch to the relatively cheaper substitute, causing the demand curve for good B to shiftright.2526DCCAn excise duty shifts the supply curve, not the demand curve.DAn excise duty shifts the supply curve, not the demand curve.AMRT MPS MPM marginal propensity to withdraw.BCorrect formula for multiplier used but incorrectly specifies MPW (MRT MPC MPM)CMRT MPC MPMDCorrect: Multiplier 1 / MPW 1 / (0.1 0.2 0.3)AThere are positive externalities as MSB MPBBThere are positive externalities as MSB MPBCCorrect: Too big a subsidy has been granted, resulting in over-consumption.AO2/AO3/AO3/AO2/DA tax would shift the MPC curve to the left – intervention has shifted the MPC curve to the right,meaning a subsidy has been granted.27DAThis would be the outcome if AD shifted to the left.BThere is no spare capacity so even though AD increases there will be no economic growth orreduction in unemployment.CThis would be the outcome if there was significant spare capacity in the economy, meaningdemand side growth would be non-inflationary.DCorrect: the AD curve will shift right, however there is no spare capacity so this is simplyinflationary.28AASpecialisation here is correct but the quantities need to be doubled to reflect that the initial figureswere the result of half of the resources producing each good.BThis goes against the theory of comparative advantage as countries are specialising in goods13

Country B has a comparative advantage in bananas.DThis goes against the theory of comparative advantage as countries are specialising in goodswhich incur higher opportunity cost than in the other country.29AACorrect: TVC 15,000 – ( 250 x 12) 12,000. AVC 12,000 / 25,000 48pBSpecifies total fixed cost as 250 – need to multiply by 12 to find total fixed cost.C 15,000 / 25,000 60p ATCD30DAdds rather than subtracts total fixed cost to total cost to find total variable cost.AThe supply of loanable funds is determined by saving, which is not directly impacted by changes incorporation taxBThe supply of loanable funds is determined by saving, which is not directly impacted by changes incorporation taxCAn increase in the corporation tax rate will reduce rather than increase investmentDCorrect: investment will become less profitable, decreasing firms’ demand for loanable funds14

Strong analysis requires analysis of at least two policyreforms.AO1 x 2AO2 x 3Level 3 (11–15 marks)AO3 x 4Good knowledge and understanding of how the policiesimprove the affordability of housing.AO4 x 6Good – strong analysis of the way in which the policyreforms will influence the price of housing through shiftingsupply and demand. Good analysis will be in the form ofdeveloped links. These links are developed through achain of reasoning which addresses the question. Anyrelevant diagram(s) are predominantly correct and linkedto the analysis. Strong analysis will have consistentlywell-developed links through a coherent chain ofreasoning which addresses the question. Any relevantdiagram(s) are predominantly correct with no significanterrors that affect the validity of the analysis. Any diagramsmust be integral to the analysis.16Reducing mortgage interest tax relief and introducing theadditional stamp duty on buy to let purchases will make itless profitable to purchase a property for investmentpurposes. This will decrease the demand for housing fromlandlords, shifting the demand curve to the left from D1 toD2, causing the price of housing to fall (from P1 to P2),resulting in housing in the UK becoming more affordable forresidential purchases/those on low incomes/first time buyers.

Anyrelevant diagram(s) may be imperfectly labelled or notlinked to the analysis.Reasonable evaluation of whether the policy reforms willresult in house prices falling considering bothsides/comparing alternativesThere is a line of reasoning presented with some structure.The information presented is in the most-part relevant andsupported by some evidence.The supply of housing may increase as landlords decide tosell their properties as a result of the changes to mortgageinterest tax relief. This would cause the supply curve to shiftto the right and the price of housing to fall, resulting inhousing in the UK becoming more affordable for residentialpurchases/those on low incomes/first time buyers.Moreover the Lifetime ISA will incentivise individuals to savefor a deposit and effectively reduce the real cost of buying ahouse. Ceteris paribus this makes housing more affordable,as more individuals will now be able to save the depositneeded to purchase a property.Evaluation: Alternative policies that address the affordability ofhousing that are not compared to the policies in Extract 1can be awarded up to Limited evaluation.

Therefore, whilst in the shortterm houses may become more affordable, in the long termas more people are able to enter the market prices may startto rise again. Much will depend upon whether othergovernment policies to increase the rate of house buildingenables supply to increase quickly enough to stop pricesrising despite rising demand. A diagram may be used toevidence this.The majority of the market is comprised of residentialpurchases; any changes in the buy to let market are unlikelyto have a big enough impact to cause the price of houses tofall.Landlords may simply pass their higher costs onto tenants inthe form of higher rents. They are likely to be able to do thisgiven the shortage of housing, which may mean theycontinue to purchase buy to let properties as it remainsprofitable to do so.Landlords may continue to buy properties to let as the 3%increase in stamp duty may not be sufficient to deter theirinvestment.Whilst an increase in the supply of properties for sale maydecrease house prices, the reduction in the number ofproperties available to rent may push up prices in the rentalmarket, making housing less affordable for tenants.The Lifetime ISA will not improve the affordability of housingfor those who cannot afford to save.18

They will ignore the costs to third parties – suchas local residents who experience noise pollution during theconstruction work and lose the opportunity to use greenspaces for leisure activities once houses are built on them.This means that social costs exceed private costs, resultingin market failure and the over-production of houses. Thisgenerates a welfare loss as illustrated by the shaded regionon the diagram.The extent to which there are negative externalities dependsupon exactly where houses are being built – areas ofoutstanding natural beauty are likely to remain protected, andif it is largely unused green belt land then the negativeexternalities generated are unlikely to be significant.There may be positive externalities of production. Whenmore houses are built house prices will fall. This makeshousing more affordable, which benefits taxpayers as thegovernment incurs less cost in having to support people withthe cost of housing in the form of housing benefit or socialhousing. Moreover building new, energy efficient houses mayreduce global warming in the long run.It might be that rising prices do not represent market failurebut the market mechanism operating correctly in response torising
