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.

Example:
Question:
Why do people buy more grapes in December than in July?

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.

buying on credit. [1

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.
