1. Percentage Changes | 百分比变化

The foundation of many economics calculations is the percentage change. The formula is: (New Value – Original Value) ÷ Original Value × 100%.

许多经济计算的基础是百分比变化。公式为：（新值 – 原值）÷ 原值 × 100%。

For example, if a firm’s revenue rises from £200,000 to £250,000, the percentage increase is (250,000 – 200,000)/200,000 × 100 = 25%.

例如，如果一家企业的收入从 20 万英镑增加到 25 万英镑，则增长百分比为 (250,000 – 200,000)/200,000 × 100 = 25%。

Remember: a negative result indicates a decrease. Use this skill for all elasticity and growth calculations.

记住：负值表示下降。将这项技能用于所有弹性和增长计算。

2. Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) | 需求价格弹性

PED measures how responsive quantity demanded is to a change in price.

需求价格弹性衡量需求量对价格变化的反应程度。

PED = % Change in Quantity Demanded ÷ % Change in Price

PED = 需求量变动百分比 ÷ 价格变动百分比

Worked example: A cinema increases ticket prices from £8 to £10. Ticket sales fall from 500 to 400 per week. Step 1: %ΔQd = (400-500)/500 × 100 = -20%. Step 2: %ΔP = (10-8)/8 × 100 = 25%. PED = -20% / 25% = -0.8.

计算示例：一家电影院将票价从 8 英镑提高到 10 英镑。每周售票量从 500 张降至 400 张。步骤 1：需求量变动 % = (400-500)/500 × 100 = -20%。步骤 2：价格变动 % = (10-8)/8 × 100 = 25%。PED = -20% / 25% = -0.8。

The negative sign is often dropped; the value 0.8 means demand is price inelastic. A PED less than 1 indicates inelastic demand, while a value greater than 1 indicates elastic demand.

负号常被省略；0.8 意味着需求缺乏价格弹性。PED 小于 1 表示缺乏弹性，而大于 1 表示富有弹性。

3. Total Revenue and Elasticity | 总收益与弹性

Total revenue (TR) is price × quantity sold. Understanding the link between PED and TR helps firms make pricing decisions. If demand is elastic (PED > 1), a price cut raises total revenue. If demand is inelastic (PED < 1), a price rise raises total revenue.

总收益是价格 × 销量。理解 PED 与总收益之间的联系有助于企业做出定价决策。如果需求富有弹性（PED > 1），降价会增加总收益。如果需求缺乏弹性（PED < 1），提价会增加总收益。

Using the cinema example: original TR = £8 × 500 = £4,000. New TR = £10 × 400 = £4,000. Here TR stayed the same because PED was unitary (perfectly 1) after rounding, but our calculated PED -0.8 suggests inelastic demand; however, TR remained constant due to the specific numbers. Let’s check a clearer case: A product with original P = £5, Q = 200; new P = £4, Q = 260. %ΔP = -20%, %ΔQd = 30%. PED = 30/-20 = -1.5 (elastic). Original TR = £1,000, new TR = £1,040 – TR rose with a price cut. If PED = 0.5 (inelastic), price rise from £5 to £6 (+20%) leading to Q fall from 200 to 180 (-10%), then original TR = £1,000, new TR = £1,080, TR rose.

使用电影院示例：原总收益 = £8 × 500 = £4,000。新总收益 = £10 × 400 = £4,000。此处 TR 未变是因为经凑整后弹性近似为 1，但计算出的 PED 为 0.8，总收益居然不变，这是由于特定数字所致；更清晰的案例：某产品原价 P = £5，Q = 200；新价 P = £4，Q = 260。%ΔP = -20%，%ΔQd = 30%。PED = 30/-20 = -1.5（富有弹性）。原 TR = £1,000，新 TR = £1,040——降价后 TR 上升。若 PED = 0.5（缺乏弹性），价格从 £5 涨到 £6（+20%），Q 从 200 降至 180（-10%），原 TR = £1,000，新 TR = £1,080，TR 上升。

Always calculate both TR figures to confirm the relation.

务必计算两组 TR 数值以确认关系。

4. Income Elasticity of Demand (YED) | 需求收入弹性

YED measures how quantity demanded responds to a change in consumer income.

YED 衡量需求量对消费者收入变化的反应程度。

YED = % Change in Quantity Demanded ÷ % Change in Income

YED = 需求量变动百分比 ÷ 收入变动百分比

Example: When average income rises by 5%, demand for organic vegetables increases by 8%. YED = 8% / 5% = +1.6. This is a normal good with income elastic demand (luxury). If income rises 4% and demand for bus travel falls 1%, YED = -0.25, an inferior good.

示例：当平均收入上升 5% 时，有机蔬菜的需求增加 8%。YED = 8% / 5% = +1.6。这是正常品且富有收入弹性（奢侈品）。如果收入上升 4% 而公交出行需求下降 1%，YED = -0.25，是低档品。

Positive YED = normal good; negative YED = inferior good. YED > 1 indicates a luxury, 0–1 a necessity.

YED 为正 → 正常品；YED 为负 → 低档品。YED > 1 表示奢侈品，0–1 表示必需品。

5. Price Elasticity of Supply (PES) | 供给价格弹性

PES measures how responsive quantity supplied is to a change in price.

PES 衡量供给量对价格变化的反应程度。

PES = % Change in Quantity Supplied ÷ % Change in Price

PES = 供给量变动百分比 ÷ 价格变动百分比

Example: The price of wheat rises from £150 to £180 per tonne (+20%). Farmers increase supply from 10,000 to 13,000 tonnes (+30%). PES = 30% / 20% = 1.5. Supply is elastic. If supply only rose 5% for a 20% price rise, PES = 0.25, inelastic.

示例：小麦价格从每吨 150 英镑涨至 180 英镑（+20%）。农民将供给量从 10,000 吨增加到 13,000 吨（+30%）。PES = 30% / 20% = 1.5。供给是富有弹性的。若价格上升 20% 时供给仅增加 5%，PES = 0.25，缺乏弹性。

6. Costs of Production | 生产成本

You must be able to calculate total cost (TC), total fixed cost (TFC), total variable cost (TVC), and average cost (AC).

你必须能够计算总成本、总固定成本、总可变成本和平均成本。

TC = TFC + TVC

AC = TC ÷ Quantity

AC = 总成本 ÷ 产量

Example: A bakery has fixed costs of £2,000 per month (rent, insurance). Variable costs are £1.50 per loaf. If it produces 5,000 loaves, TVC = £1.50 × 5,000 = £7,500. TC = £2,000 + £7,500 = £9,500. AC = £9,500 / 5,000 = £1.90 per loaf. If production rises to 8,000 loaves, TVC = £12,000, TC = £14,000, AC = £1.75 – economies of scale as AC falls.

示例：一家面包店每月固定成本为 2,000 英镑（租金、保险）。可变成本为每只面包 1.50 英镑。若生产 5,000 只面包，TVC = £1.50 × 5,000 = £7,500。TC = £2,000 + £7,500 = £9,500。AC = £9,500 / 5,000 = 每只 £1.90。如果产量增至 8,000 只，TVC = £12,000，TC = £14,000，AC = £1.75——平均成本下降，体现了规模经济。

7. Profit Calculation | 利润计算

Profit is the difference between total revenue (TR) and total cost (TC). You may also need to calculate profit per unit.

利润是总收益与总成本之间的差额。你可能还需要计算单位利润。

Profit = TR – TC

利润 = 总收益 – 总成本

Continuing the bakery: if each loaf sells for £2.40 and 5,000 loaves are sold, TR = £2.40 × 5,000 = £12,000. Profit = £12,000 – £9,500 = £2,500. Profit per unit = £2.40 – £1.90 = £0.50. If production was 8,000, TR = £19,200, TC = £14,000, profit = £5,200. Be sure to show your workings clearly.

继续面包店的例子：若每只面包售价 2.40 英镑，销售 5,000 只，TR = £2.40 × 5,000 = £12,000。利润 = £12,000 – £9,500 = £2,500。单位利润 = £2.40 – £1.90 = £0.50。若生产 8,000 只，TR = £19,200，TC = £14,000，利润 = £5,200。请务必清晰展示计算过程。

8. Break-Even Analysis | 盈亏平衡分析

Break-even output is where TR = TC, so profit is zero. The formula using contribution per unit is very common in CCEA exams.

盈亏平衡产量是指 TR = TC、利润为零时的产量。使用单位贡献的公式在 CCEA 考试中很常见。

Break-Even Output = Total Fixed Costs ÷ (Selling Price per Unit – Variable Cost per Unit)

盈亏平衡产量 = 总固定成本 ÷ （单位售价 – 单位可变成本）

Example: A start-up sells handmade candles. Selling price = £8, variable cost per candle = £3, monthly fixed costs = £600. Contribution per unit = £8 – £3 = £5. Break-even output = £600 / £5 = 120 candles. At this output, TR = 120 × £8 = £960, TC = £600 + (120 × £3) = £960. To find the number of candles for a target profit of £400, use: (Fixed Costs + Target Profit) ÷ Contribution per unit = (£600 + £400) / £5 = 200 candles.

示例：一家初创企业销售手工蜡烛。售价 = 8 英镑，每支蜡烛可变成本 = 3 英镑，月固定成本 = 600 英镑。单位贡献 = £8 – £3 = £5。盈亏平衡产量 = £600 / £5 = 120 支。达到该产量时，TR = 120 × £8 = £960，TC = £600 + (120 × £3) = £960。要计算目标利润为 400 英镑时的产量，公式为：（固定成本 + 目标利润）÷ 单位贡献 = (£600 + £400) / £5 = 200 支。

9. Unemployment Rate | 失业率

The unemployment rate measures the percentage of the labour force that is jobless and actively seeking work.

失业率衡量的是劳动力中没有工作但积极寻找工作的人口百分比。

Unemployment Rate = (Number of Unemployed ÷ Labour Force) × 100%

失业率 =（失业人数 ÷ 劳动力总数）× 100%

Example: An economy has 1.2 million people unemployed and a labour force of 30 million. Unemployment rate = (1.2m / 30m) × 100 = 4.0%. If 200,000 discouraged workers leave the labour force, the new labour force is 29.8 million, unemployed remains 1.2m, so the rate becomes 4.03%. Be careful with data: always check what is included in the labour force.

示例：某经济体有 120 万失业人口，劳动力总数为 3,000 万。失业率 = (1.2m / 30m) × 100 = 4.0%。如果有 20 万沮丧工人退出劳动力市场，新的劳动力总数为 2,980 万，失业人数仍为 120 万，则失业率变为 4.03%。处理数据时要仔细：始终核查劳动力包含哪些人。

10. Inflation Rate (CPI) | 通货膨胀率（消费者价格指数）

Inflation is typically measured using the Consumer Price Index (CPI). You may be asked to calculate the rate of inflation between two years.

通货膨胀通常用消费者价格指数来衡量。你可能需要计算两个年份之间的通货膨胀率。

Inflation Rate = (CPI in Year 2 – CPI in Year 1) ÷ CPI in Year 1 × 100%

通货膨胀率 =（第 2 年 CPI – 第 1 年 CPI）÷ 第 1 年 CPI × 100%

Example: CPI was 108.5 in 2022 and 113.6 in 2023. Inflation rate = (113.6 – 108.5)/108.5 × 100 = 4.70%. If a basket of goods cost £67.50 in the base year and CPI rises to 115, you can calculate the new cost: £67.50 × (115/100) = £77.63.

示例：2022 年 CPI 为 108.5，2023 年为 113.6。通货膨胀率 = (113.6 – 108.5)/108.5 × 100 = 4.70%。如果一篮子商品在基年价格为 67.50 英镑，CPI 升至 115，则可计算新成本为：£67.50 × (115/100) = £77.63。

11. Exchange Rates | 汇率换算

CCEA often includes currency conversions. Knowing whether to multiply or divide is essential.

CCEA 考试常包含货币换算。弄清该乘还是该除至关重要。

If £1 = $1.25, to convert £200 into dollars: 200 × 1.25 = $250. To convert $500 into pounds: 500 ÷ 1.25 = £400. If the pound appreciates to £1 = $1.30, the same £200 now buys $260. An appreciation makes exports more expensive and imports cheaper.

如果 £1 = $1.25，将 200 英镑兑换成美元：200 × 1.25 = $250。将 500 美元兑换成英镑：500 ÷ 1.25 = £400。如果英镑升值至 £1 = $1.30，同样的 200 英镑现在可兑换 260 美元。升值会使出口更贵、进口更便宜。

Given rate: multiply to go from base to foreign, divide to go back.

已知汇率：从基础货币换到外币乘，换回基础货币除。

12. Exam-Style Mixed Practice | 考试风格综合练习

Here is a quick mixed drill. Try these without looking at the steps:

以下是一个快速混合练习。尝试独立完成，不要看步骤：

A firm sells 800 units at £15 each. Variable cost per unit is £9, total fixed costs £2,700. Calculate: (a) total revenue, (b) total cost, (c) profit, (d) break-even output.

一家企业以单价 15 英镑销售 800 件产品。单位可变成本 9 英镑，总固定成本 2,700 英镑。计算：(a) 总收益，(b) 总成本，(c) 利润，(d)盈亏平衡产量。

Answers: (a) TR = £15 × 800 = £12,000. (b) TVC = £9 × 800 = £7,200; TC = £2,700 + £7,200 = £9,900. (c) Profit = £12,000 – £9,900 = £2,100. (d) Contribution per unit = £15 – £9 = £6; Break-even = £2,700 / £6 = 450 units.

答案：(a) TR = £15 × 800 = £12,000。(b) TVC = £9 × 800 = £7,200；TC = £2,700 + £7,200 = £9,900。(c) 利润 = £12,000 – £9,900 = £2,100。(d) 单位贡献 = £15 – £9 = £6；盈亏平衡产量 = £2,700 / £6 = 450 件。

Always label your answers clearly with units (£, units, %) to gain full marks in CCEA examinations.

务必清晰标注单位（£、件、%），以便在 CCEA 考试中获得满分。
