EDITED ESSAY!

hello!
apparently there've been many reported mistakes in the essay.
additional thanks to wensi(06S6D), lirao, jiexun, jonathan, christina. for spotting the mistakes / clarifying issues for rephrasing.
please get your updated copy here!

as a side note - please please please please don't screw me if you don't get good marks like the last time, or if my prediction that question 1 will come out doesn't come true =X

p.s. i tried writing question 1 out in full within the time limit. i got pwned quite badly. like i exceeded the time limit of 45min by about 15min.. so.. umm.. find your own way to summarise / familiarise yourself with the essay so you don't have econs-student's block while writing halfway and are able to complete the essay within the time limit. question 1 part b - there's a part in italics. i think you don't have to write that part if you're short of time, since the main points to answer that question are covered in the rest of essay. yupps.

all the best :)

econs timed assignment ii

note: changes have been made to the document. thanks to jonathan / lirao for pointing out the mistakes. page one, paragraph after the three graphs, changed to:

In the given example, the railway stations charge different prices to commuters who buy tickets in advance, as well as from major stations. Commuters who live near major stations would probably need to travel lesser as business districts are probably located near that area, thus a reduced price would act as an incentive for them to travel. As a result, the demand in this group of consumers is price elastic (figure B). Commuters who live further away would have to travel more and in such cases, the difference in price acts as one of the determining factors for their choice to travel. Thus, the demand in this group of consumers is more price inelastic (figure A).

i messed up the PED values. sorry! since it's confusing, i just removed the details on the values and just talked about the elasticity in general.

another change. the paragraph after that.
sentence: If a uniform price of Pu is charged across markets without price discrimination, the TR from commuters staying far away is 0 as they will choose to buy from smaller stations instead.
change to: If a uniform price of Pu is charged across markets without price discrimination, the TR from commuters who do not travel much is 0 as they will not be able to afford or will not be willing to pay the price P2.

yupp. sorry for all the inconvenience caused. the new file has been uploaded.


hey guys.

i know my first attempt at preparing a set of answers for the first timed assignment wasn't quite successful, but i'm not giving up yet. this time i've spent days to prepare and to ask many people for advice / edits. so, here's a sample essay to help prepare you for the upcoming timed assignment. but before that...

credits

christina - drawing most of the diagrams. editing thrice, especially question 1 part a.
yeqing - editing 5 times, constantly pointing out new ways of improvement.
bochao - editing twice, giving good suggestions.
yikhung - giving good comments.
lirao - editing once.
makyiingchau (senior) - general advice on essay writing
lionelho (senior) - for reference answer to question 2 part a.


hopefully this time, my our attempts won't be in vain (or i'll cry =X). (:
download here!

all the best for the timed assignment!
and all the best to those who have chem test on monday too! (:

The boulder sitting high up on the mountain —

Chorus.
Energy in motion is Kinetic
Energy that’s waiting is Potential
But whether it’s Kinetic or Potential
Boooooth of them are energy!
Ole!

2. You stretch a rubber band and then release it —
Thaaaat’s Kinetic Energy (Kinetic!)
You stretch a rubber band and then you hold it —
Thaaaat’s Potential Energy (Potential!)

these are the super-rare (i think) music videos for the 2 CLAMP manga that are too short (?) to be made into a full-length series or movie...



Clover~ it's a very sad story... but the manga seems to be "unfinished"? and the manga cover also very nice~ ^_^


Wish

and it seems that there's 2 of them. this one is wierd. it's a very... randomly cute video of the chibi versions of the characters...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0E_UlUIWNBo

mee siam, mai ham, mai ham, mai ham..

hey guys,
listen to this... damn cute song about potential and kinetic energy.

and and and listen to this: mr brown podcast on pm lee's rally speech.

Little Girl Yodelling

this girl has got talent too!

America's Got Talent

This girl is only 11 years old, yet when she sings, she's compared to "being possessed by a black's ghost".

Champion. Dunno what to say. She doesn't look vey great, but her voice is a different matter.


Her first performance.


Finale performance
hey i ripped this off from other class's blog. and its driving me mad. someone enlighten me!


three men go to stay at a motel, and the man at the desk charges them $30.00 for a room. They split the cost ten dollars each. Later the manager tells the desk man that he overcharged the men, that the actual cost should have been $25.00. The manager gives the bellboy $5.00 and tells him to give it to the men.
The bellboy, however, decides to cheat the men and pockets $2.00, giving each of the men only one dollar.
Now each man has paid $9.00 to stay in the room and 3 x $9.00 = $27.00. The bellboy has pocketed $2.00. $27.00 + $2.00 = $29.00 - so where is the missing $1.00?

hohoho i solved it. ok not me. but my friend told me how. heh so cool. k for those who haven solve it yet. think again! =)) (this makes me think of the athena play again. i think... i think... hahahaha )

impt! only for pple taking chem

ECONS

errrm... jus in case ppl forget? and go to smb and oops it's been taken down or something yada yada...

MATH LECTURE TEST ON FRIDAY OH NOOOOOOO -runs around in horror-

"Dear C1 H2 Economics Students,

Below is the revised question one for the timed assignment (II) which
will be conducted during lecture on 28 Aug 2006 (Mon).

The second question is the same as the one printed in the Monop
tutorials.

Economics Unit

Question One
TYS Nov 2002
In the UK, train tickets may be obtained more cheaply if they are
bought in advance. In August 2000 the railway companies jointly
announced that these cheap tickets would be available only at major
stations. Passengers living near smaller stations would, therefore,
have to pay the full cost of the ticket.
(a) Explain what is meant by price discrimination and discuss
whether this is an example of price discrimination. [10]
(b) Identify the type of market structure that enables companies to
practise price discrimination, and discuss whether that market
structure is ever beneficial to consumers. [15]

Question Two
TYS N1998
In August 1996, for what was thought to be the first time in the
African sub-continent, a private company was contracted by the
government to manage electricity distribution in Northern Namibia.

(a) Explain why governments throughout the world have been involved
in the supply of services such as electricity. [12]
(b) Discuss on the policies that governments can use to regulate
these companies. [13]"

Please lauf.

There are three kinds of mathematicians :those who can count and those who cannot.

Classbench Politics

I sharply recall the times when I had the bad habit of staring at a political world map and thinking: from above, all the countries behave like teenagers. America is the rich handsome hunk, UK the rich handsome brat, most of the world their followers, Russia the gentle giant nobody talks to, and China / North Korea flatly defiant antisocials.

If 06s6e was the world...
It all started with America accusing Iraq of oily hair, which in turned caused the world to gang up into two camps, some countries in both at once (yep, the fencelubbers, Switzerland and Sweden) Which in turn creates much general turmoil throughout. Israel bushuangs Lebanon and vice versa. Iran turns emotional and uncompromising. Russia starts thinking about fighting back, and Serbia breaks up with Montenegro.

See tagboard. It needs some divine intervention.

I pray for World Peace.
