A recent survey by Malaysian financial services websiteRinggitPlus revealed that 70 per cent of Malaysians saved less than RM500 per month (S$153)in 2022 or did not save at all. “This is compared with 52 per cent of Malaysians saving less thanRM500 monthly in 2021, the largest year-on-year increase since 2018,” the RinggitPlusMalaysian Financial Literacy Survey 2022 showed....Mr Patrick Tay, deals partner, economicsand policy at Malaysia PwC, is not surprised by the decline in savings in 2022. “One reason forthe depleted savings is low wages and higher inflation. But another key reason is that Malaysiansare spending more post-pandemic on holidays or other leisure expenses because some may feelthat they saved during the pandemic, and it is fine to now spend this year…
Due to the pandemic, the Malaysian government had announced total lockdown known as MCO in the country whereby everyone is required to (c) work from home until further notice. Lesser movements are allowed on the roads and the security is tight on this matter. Due to this scenario, there is a sudden increment of the birth rate in a small town in Seremban. It is almost double from previously. After 4 years, the birth rate is expected to normalize. Use demand and supply diagram to illustrate the effect of these events linking with the following statements.

A computer reseller needs to decide how many laptops to order next month. The lowest end laptop costs $220 and the retailer can sell these for $300. However, the laptop manufacturer already announced that they are coming out with a new model in a couple of months. Any laptops that will not be sold by the end of next month will have to be heavily discounted at half-price. The reseller also needs to consider that every time he fails to fulfill a laptop order, he stands to lose $25 for every unit. Based on the past months’ sales, the reseller estimates the demand probabilities for sales (S) as follows: P(0 units) = 0.3; P(1 units) = 0.4; P(2 units) = 0.2; P(3 units) =0.1. The reseller thinks it’s a good idea to conduct a survey on whether or not his customers are going to buy laptops and how many. The survey results will either be Yes (Y), No (N) or Don’t Know (DK). The probability estimates of the results based on the demand for number of units are: P(Y|S = 0 units) = 0.1 P(Y|S = 1…
