    Is it worth ordering a mark recheck??

    In my opinion, AAA would be fair if it was restricted to rural school and schools comparable to these. The current system just seems ridiculous. Students in schools such as Ashfield Boys and Canterbury Boys are only disadvantaged because they don't have a competitive study environment (though...

Also, carbonates in water may react with barium to form barium carbonate, preventing the formation of baSo4. Adding an acid ill decompose the carbonate. If you make the mixture acid, you reduce the amount of...

    From my understanding, as public goods and non-rival and non-excludeable, the cost of providing the good to an extra consumer is zero (as they can just free ride). This makes the marginal cost zero meaning firms are reluctant to produce public goods.

    Stance of Fiscal Policy?

    Sorry I don't think I made my point very clear... The decreased government spending is contractionary...I don't see how it is not. Even last year's budget was deemed contractionary (see leading edge text book for explanation) You said a contractionary stance is "government wants to decrease...

    Stance of Fiscal Policy?

    I don't think the definition of a contractionary stance is when the government wants to decrease economic activity in the economy but quite simply when T>G. Even if it isn't Mr Swans intent to decrease economic growth, the economy will still slow down because of the Budget (more so than the...

    What English technique is this I'm so bad.

    It's irony. Machines can't be more human than human than a Bladerunner. However, it this line is also open to another interpretation - technique: "equivocation" (where the meaning is uncertain) They are "more human" in the sense that they are stronger, faster, smarter, etc.

    1. MPC = change in C/ Change in Y = (180-150)/ (600-500) = 0.3 In year 3, change in Y = 60 MPC = 0.3 = 60/ (change in Y) Change in Y = 60/ 0.3 = 200 200+ 600 = 800 (C) 2. Inflation is the change in CPI from the base year. So, you calculation the change: {CPI(current) - CPI(base)}/CPI...

    No. Whey borrow from the private sector, they sell first hand government securities. This is sold under a tender system to basically anyone (people who are willing to buy at the highest price and lowest interest return are sold first until the government can fund its planned deficit.) In the...

    Is anyone good at HSC Economics? can you explain this to me?

    This is true in the longer term. When thinking about exchange rates, always think of a "J-curve" effect. In the short term, Australians will have to bear the cost of higher import prices while domestic substitutes can be found ==> worsens the CAD. In the longer term, the increased value of...

    English is stupid

    I can understand the frustration amongst students that have a bitter distaste for English. In year 11, I spent $60 a week on tutoring yet consistently achieved results of 10-11/ 15 and was around 100 ranking wise. I utterly hated the subject - full of bullshit - it seemed that markers gave me...

    I'm pretty sure its A All same molar concentration acids require the same volume of base. Hence, Triprotic (Citric) > diprotic (sulfuric) > monoprotic (HCl and ethanoic) in terms of base needed.
