Entire labour force = 30+37+19+12.2+16.1+10.8+15.6+19+10.3 = 170million

(i) Primary sector ==> Mining + Fish farming + food crop production

% of primary sector = (16.1+10.8+15.6)/170 ×100%

= 35%

(4a) Product retailing is the practice of dealing with tangible things, and it usually involves the development of a connection with the customer over time as the consumer visits the product retailer frequently.

(4b) I Bulk Breaking: The Wholesaler acts as a bulk breaker for the manufacturer, allowing the retailer to purchase the items. The Wholesaler assists in ensuring that the items are distributed through the channels of distribution by purchasing the goods from the manufacturer and selling them in smaller units to the retailers.

(ii) Financing: Without a wholesaler, the manufacturer may suffer financial difficulties in his firm because he will not be able to recoup the money invested in the manufacturing of the items.

(iii) Dissemination of information: Because the wholesaler is closer to the retailers and consumers, he understands what they want and the complaints that have been made about the manufacturer’s goods.

(4c) I Problems with packaging: Goods packaging is not standardized. This could lead to damage or loss during shipment.

(ii) Inadequate transportation facilities: The country’s weak transportation system has an impact on product distribution and marketing. Because of the poor state of the roads, goods suffer significant damage as a result of accidents.

(iii) A long distribution chain: There are far too many middlemen. The multiple linkages in the distribution system cause the price of commodities to rise dramatically. (5a) Price elasticity of demand can be defined as the degree to which the quantity desired of a commodity responds to changes in its price. In other words, it is the degree to which the amount required responds to a modest change in the commodity‘s price.

(5b) I Elastic demand occurs when a slight change in price results in a larger change in the amount of items demanded. While demand is considered to be inelastic if a bigger change in price leads to a small or slight change in the quantity of goods desired, demand is said to be inelastic if a larger variation in price leads to a small or slight change in the quantity of goods demanded.

(ii) On elastic demand , elasticity is greater than one or unitary , i.e E ==>1<infinity. While on inelastic demand , elasticity is less than one but greater than zero, i.e E ==>0<1

(5c)

(8a) I Domestic trade refers to the exchange of goods within a country’s borders. While international trade entails the interchange of products and services across national borders, domestic trade involves the usage of a common language. While international trade necessitates the learning of new languages as well as interpretation.

(iii) In internal trade, both buyers and sellers use the same currency. Buyers and sellers in international trade utilize various currencies.
(iv) The legal system in domestic trade is the same. While there are variations in legal systems and cultures in international trade, there are similarities in internal trade.

(8b) The rate at which a country’s exports are exchanged for its imports is known as the term of trade. It is defined as the difference between the prices that a country receives for its exports and the prices that it pays for imports. WHILE The total value of products sold and bought by a country over a specific period, generally a year, is known as the balance of commerce. We have a balance of commerce when visible exports equal visible imports in monetary terms.

(eighth) (Pick Any Four)
I Low agricultural production: As a result, Nigeria’s agro-allied industries are reliant on food imports and imported inputs.

(ii) Low technical development: A country with a low degree of technological development is more likely to import advanced technology.

Inadequacies in export promotion techniques (iii): Export promotion initiatives to boost the country’s earnings are woefully inadequate.

(iv) Excessive government spending: This mindset encourages the government to import a large amount of commodities from all over the world.

(v)inadequate social and economic infrastructure: Inadequate social and economic infrastructure, such as terrible roads, irregular electricity, water, and telecommunications, contributes significantly to low capacity utilization in the industries segment.

(vi)The existence of import-dependent businesses: These industries lower the country’s earnings since they require scarce foreign exchange to buy machines and raw materials from other countries.
