I had A but I understand why the answer is B.

Basically, the world price remains at 10 therefore it's actually 20 x 10. Government gets 4 boxes not 2.

The rate of inflation outpaced the growth in nominal GDP (delivering a lower real rate of growth), so the answer is D.
Umm, I found CPI to increase by 1.94 whereas Nominal GDP increased by 5, hence its C

How did you arrive at that figure for the CPI?
CPI = Nominal GDP/Real GDP X 100
CPI (2013) = 100/100 X 100 = 100
CPI (2014) = 105/103 X 100 = 101.94

Hence CPI change = 101.94 - 100 = 1.94

Nominal GDP change = 105 - 100 = 5

Hence it is so clear its C

Can some1 pls explain to me q14
I went with B
Expansionary monetary policy = RBA buying securities to decrease interest rates.
Thus, the commercial banks lose the securities but in return, they get money from the RBA.

Expansionary monetary policy = lower the cash rate.

So, to lower the cash rate, the RBA BUYS CSGs back from commercial banks, hence depositing money into exchange settlement accounts and decreasing the demand of funds in the overnight money market. This decreases the cash rate.

So if the RBA buys CSGs, the number held by commercial banks decreases. By buying CSGs, they deposit money into the ESAs.
Hence A.

Can someone explain D? I thought the tariff at $15 would give the imports a 40mil unit advantage, so you would need a quota at $5 that would have the same result, hence a 60 mil quota? But maybe I should be looking at price as well? Just curious

If you look at the graph, when there is a tariff of $5, there is domestic supply at 30 Million units, but demand of 70 million. Therefore, to get the same effect as a $5 tariff, you have to restrict foreign important supply to 40 million units, to have the same effect as the $5 tariff.

For q6, wouldn't the answer be D. B is an example of reduced externality not a positive externality. I would say increase job is the positive externality, but ofc I may be wrong thoughts?

cheers

Without even thinking too much into it, just think of the logic of D being the right answer. Where is the causal link between a new airport being built leading to increase job creation at the existing airport? A positive externality is essentially a benefit that is enjoyed by a third-party, so by creating a completely separate airport that has nothing to do with the existing airport, a benefit is enjoyed by people driving into the existing airport.
