0471/22 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2019 © UCLES 2019 Page 2 of 12 Generic Marking Principles These general marking principles must be applied by all examiners when marking candidate answers. They should be applied alongside the specific content of the mark scheme or generic level descriptors for a question. Each question paper and mark scheme will also comply with these marking principles. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 1: Marks must be awarded in line with: • the specific content of the mark scheme or the generic level descriptors for the question • the specific skills defined in the mark scheme or in the generic level descriptors for the question • the standard of response required by a candidate as exemplified by the standardisation scripts. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 2: Marks awarded are always whole marks (not half marks, or other fractions). GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 3: Marks must be awarded positively: • marks are awarded for correct/valid answers, as defined in the mark scheme. However, credit is given for valid answers which go beyond the scope of the syllabus and mark scheme, referring to your Team Leader as appropriate • marks are awarded when candidates clearly demonstrate what they know and can do • marks are not deducted for errors • marks are not deducted for omissions • answers should only be judged on the quality of spelling, punctuation and grammar when these features are specifically assessed by the question as indicated by the mark scheme. The meaning, however, should be unambiguous. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 4: Rules must be applied consistently e.g. in situations where candidates have not followed instructions or in the application of generic level descriptors. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 5: Marks should be awarded using the full range of marks defined in the mark scheme for the question (however; the use of the full mark range may be limited according to the quality of the candidate responses seen). GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 6: Marks awarded are based solely on the requirements as defined in the mark scheme. Marks should not be awarded with grade thresholds or grade descriptors in mind.

0471/22 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2019 © UCLES 2019 Page 8 of 12 Question Answer Marks 2(d) Discuss the influence of the stages of the product life cycle model on pricing decisions for the theme park. Indicative content: Companies must adapt to the stages of the product life cycle to effectively sell and promote their products. Depending on the product life cycle stage, a company will develop branding techniques and an appropriate pricing model. Understanding each stage helps businesses increase profits. Accept stages from the Butler lifecycle model. • Research and development – the stage at which initial costs are calculated and an entry price is established. • Introduction – some companies will choose to price their new product cheaply to develop a customer base. Other companies will initially price their products more expensively to make up for development expenses. • Growth – pricing remains generally stable as demand continues with minimal competition. • Maturity – this is the product life cycle stage in which the customer base is heavily fought over with competition usually quite fierce and price decreases most often occur. Companies often choose competitive prices to try to attract more customers or offer seasonal variations in price. • Stagnation – products here are often heavily discounted as sales start to slump as customers begin to lose interest. • Decline – as the product loses profitability the organisation makes a decision about withdrawal from the market or rejuvenation. Prices for rejuvenated products tend to start back at the introduction stage. Use level of response criteria: Level 1 (1–3 marks) At this level candidates will identify 1, 2 or more stages of the product life cycle model or will refer to pricing decisions generically. Level 2 (4–6 marks) At this level candidates will explain 1, 2 or more stages of the product life cycle model with some reference to pricing decisions across the stages although these might not necessarily match. Level 3 (7–9 marks) At this level candidates will discuss the impact that various stages of the product life cycle model will have on pricing decisions. Credit all valid reasoning in context. 9
