The circular flow of money (Individual activity)

 

Read the case study below. The case study shows how money flows from one person to the next in the economic cycle. Make up your own case study about the circular flow of your pocket money and relate it to the class.

 

Sarah used R30 to buy a bookcase for her son, who is going to Grade 1. She bought the bookcase from the corner store that is owned by Jake. Jake used the R30 to put petrol in his car at the garage. He then drove to the factory to buy more bookcases. He paid the factory. The money the factory received is used to buy the materials needed to manufacture the bookcases. They buy their cardboard paper from a paper plant. The paper plant uses the money they receive from the factory to plant more trees. They use the fibres from the trees to make the cardboard box material.

Assessment Task:
 
Investing on the stock exchange (Individual activity)
 
Read the information below and answer the questions that follow.
 

 

What is the JSE and what’s it got to do with me?

The JSE is the engine-room of the South African economy. Here, companies from across the spectrum of industry and commerce gather to raise the public capital that will allow them to expand, in the process creating new jobs, products, services and opportunities.

If you own an insurance policy, a retirement annuity, a unit trust or even a simple savings account, the JSE is where much of your money goes to make more money for you. Directly or indirectly, the movements of the market matter to millions of South Africans, and that’s why more and more South Africans are choosing the direct route to the market – by investing on the JSE.

 

How do I buy or sell shares on the JSE?

You could pay a visit to your bank and ask an investment consultant to conduct the necessary transactions on your behalf. But the more common route is to go directly to one of the many member firms. Using the sophisticated JSE Trading System, your stockbroker will buy or sell shares on your instructions. Alternatively, you could open a managed account with the stockbroker where, for a fee, he will make the decisions of when and what to buy or sell on your behalf. In either case, you will be charged a negotiated brokerage fee, plus VAT and applicable duties.

 

Aside from acting as an intermediary between the stock exchange and the investor, a stockbroker will also offer all the advice, guidance and assistance required to take you through what may seem a daunting and intimidating process –  which makes it all the more essential to choose the right stockbroker for your individual needs and investment goals.

Assessment Task

 

Paying in cash is best! (Individual activity)

 

Read the two case studies below and answer the questions that follow.

 


Landela’s mother always taught her to work carefully with her money. When she started working, she saved her money until she had enough to move into a flat. She furnished her flat with second-hand goods until she could afford decent new furniture, which she bought for cash. She then sold the second-hand furniture and put the money she got into a savings account. She always buys her clothes and groceries for cash. She applied for a cash card from a clothing store and the store where she buys her toiletries and make-up. Whenever she pays for goods in cash, she earns cash-back vouchers. This saves her some money each year that she uses to buy her mom a Christmas gift.

 


Gina lives for the moment. She buys what she wants, when she wants it. She buys all her monthly groceries, clothing and other goods on her credit cards. Very soon she finds it hard to pay off all the debt she has made. She sits down to do some calculations. She finds that she owes R10 000 on her credit cards. She is paying 18% per year on that amount. In one year she pays R1 800 in interest only.

 

a) Give one reason why buying for cash is better than buying on credit.                  [1 mark]

b) Why is the interest rate on credit cards so high?                                                   [1 mark]

c) How do banks make it possible for you to buy for cash without carrying around much cash? Name three ways.                                                                                                   [3 marks]

d) Why is it better to buy groceries for cash than on credit?                                      [2 marks]

e) What security feature protects your account when you use an ATM?                 [1 mark]

                                                                                                                        [Total: 8 marks]

 

TERM 2












Assessment Task:

 

What are regional agreements? (Individual activity)

 

Read the information below and complete the task that follows.

 


 

Regional agreements are agreements, set up with countries in the surrounding region, that pertain to trade and other issues.

 

All countries in Africa belong to the African Union, except for Morocco. The African Union also aims to attract foreign investment to African countries to stimulate growth and development.

 

South Africa is a member of the Southern African Development Community (SADC). This is a group of 14 nations that trade with each other in a free trade area. The other countries that belong to the SADC are Swaziland, Lesotho, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Mauritius, Seychelles, Angola, Zambia, Tanzania, Madagascar and the DRC.

 

One of the oldest customs unions in the world is the Southern African Customs Union (SACU). Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland belong to this union, which was set up in 1910. In 2004 an agreement came into effect between member states which allows for a common external tariff, a revenue-sharing formula and trade between members that is exempt from customs duties.

 

South Africa also supports the New Partnership for African Development (NEPAD). This initiative was set up by Mr Thabo Mbeki, former South African president, and is meant to gain support for health, education and water issues from the eight most industrialised countries in the world, who are known as the G8. The G8 consist of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States.

 

 

Unscramble the letters in each word in the box below to complete the sentences that follow:

 


gonialer           cenudatio                    orcocom                      bimek                          anpaj

stocums          fortuene                       sloothe                         CAUS                          medveplento

 

a) The __________ is one of the oldest customs unions in the world.

b) __________ agreements are important for they enable South Africa to maintain relations with its neighbours regarding trade and other issues.

c) There are __________ countries that belong to the SADC.

d) NEPAD is meant to gain support for, amongst others, __________ issues.

f) A member of the SADC.

Assessment Task

 
Understanding the concept of sustainable development (Individual activity)
 
Read the definition and explanation of sustainable development below and answer the questions that follow on your workbook.
 

 

The most common definition of sustainable development is: ‘Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.’

There are three pillars to sustainable development. These pillars, which appear in the slogan used at the World Summit for Sustainable Development, are ‘Care and respect for People; Planet; and Prosperity’. All three these aspects are equally important and should be addressed at the same time. The pillar called ‘People’ has to do with poverty alleviation. ‘Planet’ deals with conservation. ‘Prosperity’ deals with business development.

 
 
  1. What does ‘compromise’ mean in this context?                                                               [1 mark]
