This mark scheme corresponds to June-2017-QP---Paper-1-Edexcel-(B)-Economics-A-level. For maximum revision benefit, attempt the question paper under strict exam conditions first, then use this mark scheme to self-assess. Pay attention to the marking notation: "allow" means an alternative is accepted, "do not credit" means a specific phrasing is rejected even if technically correct, and "ORA" (or reverse argument) means the mark can also be earned with the opposite reasoning.

Edexcel mark schemes reward precise language. For Economics B, look for keywords the examiner requires — definitions must include specific terms (e.g., "per unit mass," "resultant"), and calculations must show working even if the final answer is correct. Understanding mark scheme conventions helps you write answers that hit every marking point, not just the general idea.

Generic answers that could apply to any firm or industry — the single biggest cause of capped marks in 9EB0

“Responses that could apply to any industry or market are likely to be generic and can only score a maximum of 2 marks. Always ensure there are two separate pieces of application used in the response.”— 9EB0 Paper 1, June 2023

How to fix: Every 'Explain' question needs TWO distinct pieces of application drawn from the firm/sector in the extract — e.g. specific market share figures, named competitors, monthly download counts, capacity numbers. Naming the firm in the question is NOT application because it appears in the question itself. Treat 4-mark explain as a sandwich: Knowledge + Application 1 + Application 2 + Analysis = 4 sentences = 4 marks.
