Description: The C04 Study Text assumes candidates have no prior knowledge of economics, and explains all areas of the syllabus fully. Key terms are identified throughout, and understanding key economic terms is vital for passing the C04 exam. The Study Text also stresses the differences between economic costs and accounting costs, which candidates need to appreciate early in their studies. Diagrams are very important in economics, and the Study Text provides an extensive range of diagrams which help demonstrate the fundamental importance of the interaction of supply and demand throughout all aspects of the economics syllabus.

They summarise key economic ideas, and use a range of visual cues to aid recollection of them. While candidates will not be required to draw any diagrams in their assessments, it is essential that they understand the diagrams which demonstrate fundamental economic principles. BPP's Passcards provide you with a convenient summary of these diagrams, accompanied by key terms, definitions, and the advantages and disadvantages of different economic models which can easily be examined through objective test questions.

Paper C04 'Fundamentals of Business Economics' introduces the basic economic and financial concepts which management accountants need to know for their roles. It looks at the way individual organisations decide how to allocate resources (microeconomics) as well as looking at overall economic activity and economic policies (macroeconomics). Organisations and economies both need finance, and the syllabus reflects this by looking at the role of financial institutions and markets in providing finance.

The syllabus is split into four areas:

  • The goals and decisions of organisations
  • The market system and the competitive process
  • The financial system
  • The macroeconomic context of business
