Markscheme
A response that does not make some reference to the diagram (eg linear demand curve; capsicums; a calculation) may be awarded a maximum of [3].
Examiners report
Stronger responses explained clearly why PED changes along a linear demand curve, often using a mathematical approach. However, a large number of responses simply explained and applied the law of demand.
