The Rudd governments First Home Buyers Boost was just one part of the economic stimulus package rolled out to hopefully reduce the chances of Australia facing the same fate that the United States of America did when the Global Financial Crisis hit. I will discuss the First Home Buyers Boost scheme that was implemented to encourage first home buyers into the housing market whilst we dealt with the Global Financial Crisis that was hitting the United States of America and other countries around the globe. I will also discuss how the NSW First Home Owners Grant and the Commonwealth First Home Buyers Boost schemes combined affected the demand and supply for property in the sub $500 000 housing market in 2008/2009 particularly within the suburb of Gladesville.

In particular, it addresses how businesses make choices concerning the use of scarce resources, how prices and incomes are determined in competitive markets, and how market power affects the prices and quantities of goods available to society. We will also examine the impact of government intervention in the economy. At the end of the course the student should be able to: 1. Explain price and output changes in markets using supply and demand. 2. Analyse the usefulness of the concept of elasticity of demand in pricing, market segmentation decisions. 3. Find the profit maximizing level of various firm activities using marginal analysis. 4. Demonstrate how competitive industries respond in the short run and long run to demand and supply shocks. 5.

...and how wages are determined. “The Marginal Productivity of Labor” is the additional output produced by the addition of one more labor worker holding all other inputs fixed. “The Law of Diminishing Marginal Productivity of Labor” says that the more workers there are (again, holding all things constant) the lower the total productivity per worker will be. This is comparable to having a factory with only one machine. If more machines are not ordered, but more workers are hired to operate the original machine, the new workers will be less productive because the machine only needs one person on it to operate. How does this affect wages? This affects wages because the labor demand and supply work the same way. Labor demand is how much labor a firm wants to employ at a given wage. Labor supply is how...

...Banking Sector in Bangladesh * By Super Admin * Published 26 September 2006 * Bangladesh Study * Rating: Unrated BANKING SECTOR IN BANGLADESH INTRODUCTION The Jews in Jerusalem introduced a kind of banking in the form of money lending before the birth of Christ. The word 'bank' was probably derived from the word 'bench' as during ancient time Jews used to do money -lending business sitting on long benches. First modern banking was introduced in 1668 in Stockholm as 'Svingss Pis Bank' which opened up a new era of banking activities throughout the European Mainland. In the South Asian region, early banking system was introduced by the Afghan traders popularly known as Kabuliwallas. Muslim businessmen from Kabul, Afghanistan came to India and started money lending business in exchange of interest sometime in 1312 A.D. They were known as 'Kabuliwallas'. NUMBER AND TYPES OF BANKS The number of banks in all now stands at 49 in Bangladesh. Out of the 49 banks, four are Nationalized Commercial Banks (NCBs), 28 local private commercial banks, 12 foreign banks and the rest five are Development Financial Institutions (DFIs). Sonali Bank is the largest among the NCBs while Pubali is leading in the private ones. Among the 12 foreign banks, Standard Chartered has become the largest in the country. Besides the scheduled banks, Samabai (Cooperative) Bank, Ansar-VDP Bank, Karmasansthan (Employment) Bank and Grameen bank are functioning in the financial sector. The number...

...The Recovery of the US Economy March 13th, 2010 | Author: admin Is the US economy recovering as fast as we are being told? We keep hearing about the US recovery; mostly due to “less” unemployment benefits’ applications, less losses or better than “expected” revenue and/or profits etc. Naturally correct information will help us in deciding the best options trading method at this time, whether we should use options spreads, single options, covered calls or a combination. Disney World in Florida is an icon and a symbol of economic growth (or at least stability). If the economy is good Disney World is PACKED, especially during school holidays such as Spring Break (which was this past week). I am (and been for the past week) in Orlando, Florida where Disney World is. In fact, I am staying with my family about 10 – 15 minutes from the park. So while my family is at this moment in the park (for the third day now), I am at the hotel room writing this. So here are the facts from the ground: The park is not packed and according to my family the line ups or waiting for any ride or attraction are very small. In fact two days ago they reported that several rides and/or attractions had no line ups at all. The hotels are not full. EVERY SINGLE hotel here (that I can see) has vacancy. Remember, this is on a school holiday! So just like McDonald’s Big Mac is a good inflation indicator (check it online if you are not familiar with it), in my book Disney World is a good proxy (indicator)...

...Essay on Facebook Posted by admin as Example papers Social Networking Sites like Facebook Made the World a Better Place Appearing on the world stage in 2003, Facebook has revolutionized the average person’s social network into an unprecedented web of information available in the palm of a hand. With just a few clicks or taps on one’s mobile app, one can meet people, see friends from high school and even make contacts with potential business interests. Unfortunately, social networking sites like Facebook have not made the world a better place because it is a waste of time for the user. As time is important to people, it can be better spent doing productive things, beneficial for one’s life. As the old adage goes, time is of the essence, and if it is not used wisely, the consequences are never good. Social networks have become more than just connections with people, they have accumulated add-ons like Farmville, Mafia Wars and other games in order to keep users entertained. In these games, the user plays for virtual money, often spending many hours each day building farms and collecting sheep and other animals. With millions of users signed-up for such add-ons, it is not hard to deduce that they are wasting millions of hours each day decorating farms and collecting garden tools. It is, however, true that if used right, the site can connect users with people of same interests, thus building a name for a person, if s/he is a writer for example. Nevertheless, a few possible connections...
