Title: Multiple choice help
Post by: ilikeapples on November 04, 2018, 09:26:13 pm
"Which of the following is most likely to allow an infant industry in Australia to benefit from globalisation" - the answer is an increase in Australia's recognition of international educational qualifications. Could someone please explain to me what this means? And what part of the syllabus is it from as I have never heard of 'international educational qualifications', thank you

Another question attached: why is the answer C, I though an decrease in inflation would increase the purchasing power?

Hey!

So this question has been answered by my BFF @Lumenoria many of times so if you scroll through the question thread you should be able to find it.

But basically what it's saying is yes although there has been a decrease in inflation, there is still inflation occurring in the economy. This means that the inflation of 1% is increasing at a decreasing rate. So regardless of whether inflation has decreased, there is still inflation and thus when there is inflation, the purchasing power of customers decreases!

Hope that makes sense :)
