Module Overview

Introduction

This module builds a rigorous understanding of basic microeconomic and macroeconomic principles by combining theory and application to contemporary issues, such that students have a sound basis for progression to understand the context for business actions in the wider economy.

Module Delivery

This module will be delivered in a blended way: Study of pre-recorded lecture videos provided via Canvas, and relevant sections of a textbook, is expected ahead of each two-hour “Lecture” session. Students are advised to plan their week and allow sufficient time to study these materials in a timely manner. The live on-campus elements, consisting of a two-hour “Lecture” and a one-hour “Master Class” session per week, will have a focus on problem solving and active learning. A recording will be posted on Canvas following each session.

The Master Class and Lecture for this module are timetabled back-to-back on:

Wednesday / 9-12 / Y Twyni 002

A recording will be posted on Canvas within 48 hours following the classes.

Please check Canvas announcements and the timetable data displayed on Publish/mytimetable for regular updates.

Communication

All information related to the module will be conveyed to students via Canvas  through  the Announcements feature which will also send an e-mail notification to student accounts.

Reading Material

Every effort has been made to provide the books and journals featured in the reading list for this module in digital and hard copy format via the library.  For more details of the resources available to support your studies please consult the Library Services Guide for Economics or watch this short recording by Subject Librarian, Naomi Prady.

The full reading list for this module is available via Canvas. The core textbook for the module is:

Economics (Fifth Edition). N. Gregory Mankiw and Mark P. Taylor. Cengage.

A core textbook is only a starting point and provides introductory and background information only. Supplemental  reading  will  be  identified  at  each  lecture.  To  achieve  high  marks  in  this module students  will  need  to  do  background  and  supplemental  reading  as well  as  conduct their  own independent  research,  for  instance  through  the  reading  of  academic  journals,  into  the  topics identified.

Assessment

The assessment for the module is structured as follows:

.     30% individual coursework assignment of maximal 1500 words

.     70% in-person exam

.     Resit – in-person examination worth 100% of the overall module mark

Past papers/mock exam/example questions will be worked through in the final seminar session of the module.

The exam for this module will comprise three sections. Section A, which accounts for 50% of the overall exam mark, will consist of twenty multiple choice questions. There will be a choice of one question from 2 in a Section B (which accounts for 25% of all marks on the paper) and a choice of one question from 2 in a Section C (which accounts for the remaining 25% of marks).

If  you  fail  this  module  you  will  be  required  to  take  an  examination  during  the  supplementary assessment period.  The resit examination will be weighted as 100% of the overall module mark – the initial assessment weightings do not apply for resits.

Submission in Welsh

Any written work submitted as part of any assessment or examination may be submitted in Welsh, and that work submitted in Welsh will be treated no less favourably than written work submitted by you in English as part of an assessment or examination. Further information is available via MyUni. This is available to read in Welsh or English.

Individual Coursework Assignment

The coursework assignment for this module is an individual assignment, contributing 30% of the overall module mark. There are four versions of the assignment, determined by the last digit of your student number:

.      Student numbers ending in 0–1: Complete Version 1

.      Student numbers ending in 2–4: Complete Version 2

.      Student numbers ending in 5–7: Complete Version 3

.      Student numbers ending in 8–9: Complete Version 4

Ensure you answer the correct version based on your student number, as answering the wrong version will result in a loss of marks.

The versions differ in terms of the numerical questions and the support provided. Specifically:

.      For versions with slightly more complex numerical tasks, ChatGPT 4.0 answer suggestions are provided below the questions.

.      Important: While these suggestions may be helpful, be cautious when using them. ChatGPT can make errors, especially with the type of questions included in this assignment. Always verify your answers carefully.

The assignments include two types of questions:

1.   Figure Completion Questions

o  You will be asked to complete diagrams or graphs as part of your answers. Ensure your  responses  are  clear,  well-labeled,  and  adhere  to  the  specific   instructions provided for each figure.

2.   Multiple-Choice Questions (MCs)

o  Some questions are multiple choice, where one or more answers may be correct.

o  Important: Incorrect answers will result in a mark reduction, so carefully consider your choices before selecting. Avoid guessing if unsure.

Answer Submission

.      All answers must be written on the official answer sheets attached to this coursework brief.

.      Do not submit answers outside of the designated answer sheets, as these will not be marked.

.      Marking Criteria:  Each question is weighted proportionally, as indicated in the assignment brief. Pay attention to the allocation of marks to prioritize your effort accordingly.

If you have any questions or require clarification, please contact your module coordinator before the submission deadline.

Coursework Brief Version 1 (Student numbers ending in 0–1)

Question 1 (15 marks): Paul loves sunrise mocktails and allocates a fixed portion of his weekly budget to them.  For  each  100  ml  of  fresh  Crete  orange juice,  he  enjoys  exactly 40  ml  of  real pomegranate grenadine. Adding  more  orange juice  or  grenadine to  his  preferred  mix  does  not increase its utility to him, so orange juice and grenadine are perfect complements. In the diagram below, draw two indifference curves representing Paul’s mocktail preferences:

.      One curve should pass through a point corresponding to one glass of Paul’s preferred sunrise mix.

.      The other curve should pass through a point corresponding to two glasses of his preferred sunrise mix.

Question 2  (15  marks): Say  that  Paul  has  a  weekly  budget  of  £20  reserved  for  his  mocktail obsession. The prices of the ingredients are as follows:

.      500 ml of fresh orange juice costs £10.

.     200 ml of real pomegranate grenadine costs £10 as well.

Draw Paul’s budget line in the above diagram. Clearly indicate how much orange juice Paul can purchase if he spends his entire budget on it. Similarly,  indicate how much grenadine Paul can purchase if he spends his entire budget on it.

Question 3 (10 marks): At the initial prices and his budget, Paul can sip exactly five of his preferred sunrise mixes per week. The price of orange juice now changes. Based on the following scenarios:

.      Initial price: £10 per 500 ml of orange juice.

.     Alternative prices: £2.5 and £15 per 500 ml of orange juice.

Which of the three diagrams best represents Paul’s demand for orange juice, given that he always maintains his preferred sunrise mix ratio of 100 ml orange juice to 40 ml grenadine?

Note: Paul may also be willing to consume smaller glasses of his preferred mix, such as 50 ml of orange juice with 20 ml of grenadine, if necessary.

Which one of the three diagrams is correct?

A – Diagram 1

B – Diagram 2

C – Diagram 3

D – none of the above

Question 4 (10 marks): Assume that the price of fresh orange juice remains fixed at £10 per 500 ml, but the price of grenadine changes from £10 to £30 per 200 ml. How many of his preferred sunrise mocktails will Paul be able to consume at this higher grenadine price?

A – 4 mocktails (400 ml orange juice, 160 ml grenadine)

B – 2.5 mocktails (250 ml orange juice, 100 ml grenadine)

C – 1 mocktail (100 ml orange juice, 40 ml grenadine)

D – none of the previous

Question 5 (15 marks): Paul is not the only fan of sunrise mocktails in town. To simplify, assume there are 10 clones of Paul and 10 clones of Anna, each with individual demand functions as shown in the figures below:


Task: Using these individual demand functions, draw the total demand curve for fresh orange juice in the diagram below.

Question 6 (15 marks): Let us now focus on the supply side of orange juice. The table below provides cost data for the local suppliers of fresh orange juice. Your task is to:

.     Derive suitable cost functions (e.g., marginal cost, average cost) from the given data,

.     use  these  cost functions to determine the supply function for orange juice  (with quantity measured in litres), and

.     add the derived supply function to the market diagram of Question 5 (not forgetting the supply at the lowest price P=0)

Costs of orange juice sales

Question  7  (10  marks): Using  the  supply  and  demand  curves  derived  from  your  answers  to Questions 5 and 6, analyze the impact of the following events on the demand curve for fresh orange juice. For each event, indicate whether it causes an upward shift of the demand curve.

A – an increase in the price of grenadine B – a good orange harvest in Crete

C – a reduction in the price of fresh orange juice D – an increase in Anna’s and Paul’s income

E – Paul discovers coconut Jambo as his new favourite mocktail

F – a construction site blocks the entrance to the local orange juice store

Note that multiple answers may be correct. You will earn 10 marks for each correct answer. However, every incorrect answer will result in a deduction of 5 marks, with a minimum score of 0 for this question.

Question 8 (10 marks): Consider now the market for grenadine, which is monopolized. The diagram below  illustrates  the  monopolist’s  demand  curve  and  marginal  revenue  curve.  Based  on  this information, your task is to:

.      Draw a possible marginal cost curve for the monopolist that is consistent with the existing curves in the diagram.

.      Ensure that your marginal cost curve aligns with the profit-maximizing condition (MC=MR) and reflects realistic cost behavior.
