This resource provides a thorough set of Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) questions and detailed answers, designed to enhance students’ understanding of this key economic concept. The questions are structured in a progressive format, starting from basic calculations and gradually advancing to more complex scenarios, making it an ideal resource for both GCSE and A-Level Business Studies or Economics students.

Level of Difficulty
Basic Level: Questions cover fundamental concepts such as the formula for PED and simple percentage change calculations.

Average Rate of Return (ARR) questions & answers, specifically for the Edexcel GCSE specification. In order to help my Year 11 revise, I had a look at exam style questions they were likely to face in Paper 2. Perfect for revision or for when you introduce the topic. I have also included some notes on the pages to help guide students.
I’ve identified two types with ARR and created questions which practice the method of answering, for both styles. The booklet then gives a mix of these questions for students to answer.
