Tutorial : 5 Easy Tips for Market Failure Graphs!!!~

Okay guys, I want to share my knowledge about how to memorise the Market Failure graphs easily... For me myself, I have a hard time everytime it comes to revise this part. Shading the correct area is just so confusing!!!. Anyway, I've figure out something very useful and I hope it might be useful to all of you as well!!! Its suppose to be shared before the examination, I know. But I managed to share it with eddy only because later, when I went to taf's room , he's asleep, Amir's room as well, Redz & Ammar's room, and other classmates in block c & a =P, most of u guys were already asleep... so its Eddy only.... =P Anyway, we still have our final right?!~ okay here it goes... To make this thing easier to comprehend, I'll be explaining it using our mother tongue yeah!

The tutorial starts now...
*FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE STEPS, TAKE A PIECE OF PAPER AND DRAW THE GRAPHS ACCORDINGLY*

1) Mula mula, yang sama antara keempat-empat graf adalah Graf Supply and demand diorang.
Iaitu pada bahagian Supply curve ia adalah MSC (Marginal Social Cost) dan Demand curve adalah MSB(Marginal Social Benefit).
Maka, kita lukiskan rajah supply dan demand sebagai asas seperti yang ditunjukkan dalam rajah dibawah.(Sila right klik dan tekan 'open link in new tab' atau 'open link in new window' untuk paparan rajah 'step 1' berikut).

2) Langkah kedua merupakan antara langkah yang terpenting. Inilah punca masalah yang terbesar para pelajar iaitu kekeliruan timbul mengenai dimanakah letaknya curve yang kedua iaitu MPC/MPB. Adakah dibahagian kiri atau bahagian kanan? Disinilah perlunya kalian memberikan perhatian yang optimum.
Baiklah, pertamanya, mari kita kenali curve yang hendak digunakan, adakah MPC/MPB.
Tipsnya adalah, ingat!
PRODUCER = Kalau produce barang mesti ada COST = C
CONSUMPTION = Bila kita pakai barang itu kita dapat Benefit = B
Maka, apa-apa yang berkaitan dengan Production(Negative/Positive) kita guna MPC dan INGAT Production bermaksud producer atau supplier maka ia adalah curve SUPPLY!

Seterusnya, bagi apa-apa yang berkaitan dengan Consumption, fikir, siapa yang CONSUME? Yang consume adalah SOCIETY. Kita sebagai SOCIETY, Kita tak supply barang tersebut, tetapi kita DEMAND! Kita demand untuk Benefit kita sendiri maka bagi Consumption(Positive/Negative) kita guna MPB.

Production(Negative/Positive) ada Cost= MPC = SUPPLY CURVE
Consumption for own Benefit ( Negative/Positive) = MPB = DEMAND CURVE

Baiklah, dimanakah hendaknya meletakkan MPC atau MPB ini? adakah dikiri atau dikanan?

Apa-apa yang NEGATIVE, selalunya dilakukan berlebihan tidak kira Production atau Consumption. Cara mengingatnya, Sudah menjadi lumrah kehidupan kita untuk menyukai perkara-perkara negatif. Bila kita suka, kita buat dengan banyaknya! (I do Lovee Gossiping, don't you? hahaha). Maka, bagi Negative Production dan Negative Consumption, MPC/MPB curve akan berada dikanan. Kan kalau lebih kita kata 'shift to the right'... Maka kanan merujuk kepada lebih.

Apa-apa yang POSITIVE, selalunya dilakukan dengan sikit tidak kira Production atau Consumption. Cara mengingatinya, Adalah merupakan sifat semulajadi kita untuk kurang menyukai perkara-perkara yang positif.( I vehemently dislike vegetables & fish for instance haha) Maka, Positive Production dan Positive Consumption, MPC/MPB curve akan berada di kiri. Kan kalau kurang kita kata 'shift to the left'... Maka kiri merujuk kepada kurang.

Maka hasilnya pada rajah adalah seperti dalam paparan rajah 2 berikut.(Sila right klik dan tekan 'open link in new tab' atau 'open link in new window' untuk paparan rajah 'step 2' berikut).

Tahniah kepada yang telah berjaya melukis graf keempat-empat ini dengan betul kedudukan setiap curve...

3) Baiklah, masalah seterusnya adalah melorek bahagian yang betul. Mengapa ini penting? Kerana ada kebarangkalian kalian semua pening memikirkan lorekan yang betul seperti yang ditunjukkan di bawah.(Sila right klik dan tekan 'open link in new tab' atau 'open link in new window' untuk paparan rajah 'step 3' berikut).

Adakah bahagian warna merah atau kuning yang betul? Inilah masalah yang selalu timbul dikala kekabutan menjawab soalan peperiksaan yang banyak, HL mahupun SL...

4) Jangan gusar, tips seterusnya adalah, lihat paparan rajah 4 pula... .(Sila right klik dan tekan 'open link in new tab' atau 'open link in new window' untuk paparan rajah 'step 4' berikut).

Maka dengan panduan prinsip matematik yang kita semua sedia ketahui, lorekan yang tepat untuk negative externalities (consumption/production) adalah yang mempunyai bentuk [ < ], dan untuk positive externalities(consumption/production) adalah yang mempunyai bentuk [ > ].

Akhir sekali , rajah yang tepat adalah.(Sila right klik dan tekan 'open link in new tab' atau 'open link in new window' untuk paparan rajah 'step 5' berikut).

These are the 5 easy steps which will ensure you did not make any mistakes !!! and certainly brush off any stir in your minds....

Hope all of you are well-informed about this tips, and please, please,please share it with your SL friends as well okay! =) Hope our class will continue being the best in Economics! Don’t forget your Econs note alright!~

Should you have any questions, or maybe can't understand the steps, those who are interested, do ask me once we get back to college on the 6th of January 2009 okay!~

Till then, Happy Holidays~

Renung-renungkan dan selamat beramal!!!~

Business Case Study 2009: Les Maisonnettes

Updates

Well, ak just call pn Ayuslina to get further information regarding the courses that we can choose. She said Mara has no problem with 4 years course only just it won't permit one year off during learning to take up a job. She said we must finish our degree first than only we are liable to occupy any job. Itu pn, we have to negotiate with MARA and then MARA may give us 1-2 years of further stay at UK for us to gain some experience. The reason for this because it's unfair (she said) for us to receive the allowance while getting some neat salary.

So, It's okay for u guyz to take 4 years course but make sure the industrial training (or practical ke ape ke) only happen after u finish ur degree.

As far as I know, Kent 4 years programme is kinda flexible. We can opt 4 the (2 years study 1 year off then another 1 year study) or the (3 years study then 1 year on the industry)

the reason.

well... u know i talked to pn sharifah b4 the holidays.. and the reason she said we can't was:

1. last year, ade senior(petronas engine) mintak utk apply ind traing and sponsor xbg.. tp dia xde la crite bdak actuary/mara.. tp that is the reason die ckp xle.
2. another reason she gave me was.. our contract with mara is 3 years study abroad.. [but, with ind training, we actually should be able to support ourselves during the ind training and hold the sponsorship for 1 yr as we do get the normal pay for it.. so, the prob is i'm not sure if mara allowed this. That's y I asked some1 to ask mara on this issue.. so, i don't know if hana asked this question to mara or not] and 1 more thing. sape2 yg ade contract mara yg ktorg sign tu.. check the contract to see klu mmg 3 yrs ke.. sbb aq xingt langsung benda tu.. haha

well.. the best way to go is apply all your choices as 3 yrs. But, if u want a 4yrs.. only make it as 1 of your choices. this way at least u have 4 relevant choices - that would be smart. as long as you don't do something crazy like applying all of it to 4years.. it should be fine.

It would be great if someone contacted pn sharifah. or have a nice talk with mara. lol. I would suggest someone who have a charismatic parent to talk them into allowing us. ahahah :D

Here's the link for business worksheet and UCAS guide.. Don't hesitate to report if
the link is broken..

Business Worksheet

UCAS guide

p/s : link no longer available due to time limit.. ask others who has dload it already

the latest news...

well here is the latest news...
i text pn. Ayuslina just now (she is the person who 'take care' of KMB's students) and i asked her about the university that we can apply and about the 4 years and she replied

"refer to puan sharifah"

and Alisya have met her before holiday (or before exam i think) and according to her, we are NOT ALLOWED to apply for 4 years.

so, here is the list of universities that we can apply (which offer 3 years degree)

1. University of Kent
   
2. City University
   
3. London School of Economics
4. university of Manchester
5. university of Southampton
6. The University of Warwick (I'm not sure about warwick.. it seems to be a 4years course? You might want to check yourself. If MMORSE is 4 years.. then, you can't take it)
   
7. Kingston University (Actuarial Mathematics and statistics)
8. Swansea University (Actuarial Studies), (Actuarial studies with accounting)
9. Heriot-Watt (kene masuk 2nd year terus r coz the actual is 4 years)
10. Keele University
    

so, that's all i think. if i missd out any Uni(s), tolong tambah yer...

good luck to all! don't be too dissapointed yer...huhu


Edit by ali :
hmm.. klu camtu mmg ambik 3 yrs course la..
u might want to ignore all of this:
anyway, if the U ade course yg xinclude ind training n mmg 3 yrs korg ambik yg tu better la. but klu U tu only have course sandwich or industrial training like Queens Belfast or University of East Anglia, then terpaksa la ambik course sandwich/ade industrial training tu. After all, industrial training is optional. It is not compulsary and students can choose if they want it or not. For us, MARA probably don't let us? I dunno. I think we still have room to ask MARA about stalling our sponsorship 1 year for the industrial training later in the future, so, I'll say that you don't have to worry about that much. That's something to worry in the future...

so.. I'll add 2 more U's that is possible..
11. University of East Anglia (4 years as well. Visit:
http://www.uea.ac.uk/mth/mthcourses/mthug/mthdegrees/n323?id=jt)
12. Queen's University Belfast

[sandwich(SW) courses means there is industrial training BTW]
