english....
"Adverse" comes from the Latin for "to turn towards" ie to turn to face someone, or to confront, to oppose them. "Adversity" means circumstances which are hostile, and which you need to confront.
"Averse" means "to turn away from" ie to dislike something (normally, to dislike something strongly - if you say "I have an aversion/I am averse to ice cream" you dont mean "I don't like ice cream very much". You mean "I dislike ice cream so much that it makes me feel ill and I have to turn away from it!")

cs3265 midterm exam part 2
again, i felt that i was correct
in the end i was wrong
for the midterm paper i had 15/20 which is only the middle of the cohort
jiaqi i think he got 18, danfeng got 19, danfeng's friend got 18 among them, i am the lowest
but according to danfeng's friend, he say that he have some friends who got 12
i guess those are the lower percentile already
haiz, i'm disappointed with my score,
perhaps i could had gotten 16/20 if i didn't feel so much that i changed the answer to the following...
_______________________________________________________________
Dear Dr.Chen
I do have another query.
Question 11.
From my understanding, the demand represented by this equation is Q=5-2P, and so for Q equal to 0, P = $2.50.
so when the store charges $0.50 with $12 membership fee, P = $12.50 if 1 DVD is purchased at the store, and so we shouldn't accept as price has exceeded $2.50.
However, if we were to consider greater quantity, for instance 100 DVDs, the total price would be 100 x $0.50 + $12 = $62.
If P = $2.50, total price for 100 DVDs would be 100 x $2.50 = $250.
The willingness to pay for the DVD is much higher and so, isn't the answer C/D (probably yes or cannot be decided) instead of the given answer B?
I'm sorry that I take into only considerations from my point of view only as a buyer and not more in depth calculations for this question.

she was able to convince me that I'm WRONG!

Given Q=5-2p, when p=0, the customer will rent 5 units of DVD. That is the maximum amount of consumption under this demand curve. If we assume that the marginal cost for the store owner is zero, the total consumer surplus is =5x2.5/2, which is less than $12. So by charging $12 for membership fee, the store owner charges higher than the total consumer surplus. The consumer won’t accept this price certainly.
cs3265 midterm exam part 1
there are some queries i had for the midterm paper
but after dr.Chen explain
i suddenly feel that i should had studied the answers she gave
Below is the email i wrote to her -- for question number 1
_________________________________________________
Dear Dr.Chen
Regarding the midterm paper, I do have a query in calculations.
Question 20.
___________________________________________________________
okay, if what i said seems correct... then you are WRONG
her reply is below
___________________________________________________________
tada, sounds correct, i although i had weird feeling about the individual pricing...
but it is convincing in the end.
but after dr.Chen explain

Dear Dr.Chen
Regarding the midterm paper, I do have a query in calculations.
Question 20.
| Customer Type | PhotoKing | Individual pricing | VideoKing
| Individual pricing
| ||
| No. of customers WTP | total | No. of customers WTP | total | |||
| A | $70 | 300 | $21,000 | $80 | 200 | $16,000 |
| B | $80 | 200 | $16,000 | $50 | 400 | $20,000 |
| C | $30 | 400 | $12,000 | $90 | 100 | $9,000 |
| D | $100 | 100 | $10,000 | $70 | 300 | $21,000 |
So, from this we can deduce that both individual pricing should be $70.
The bundle pricing in this case have to be lower than $140. ($70 + $70)
Therefore taking the bundle pricing: $130
Type A, B & D customers would purchase
130 x 300 = 39,000
Type C customers would purchase only video king at $70
70 x 100 = $7,000
Total = $39,000 + $7,000 = $46,000
$120
All type of customers would purchase
120 x 400 = $48,000
Therefore if the firm sells both bundle and individual items, the price for the bundle to obtain maximum profit is $120.
Whereas the answer given by you is $130 instead, I wonder if there are errors in this calculations.___________________________________________________________
okay, if what i said seems correct... then you are WRONG
her reply is below
___________________________________________________________
When the bundle is $130, only Type C consumers will purchase individual items at $30 for PhotoKing and $90 for VideoKing. The total revenue from individual item selling is $30x100+$90x100=$12000. Add this amount to the bundling selling revenue, total revenue =$39000+$12000=$51000.
The seller will not sell individual items at $70 to Type C consumers if they can get higher revenue.
___________________________________________________________tada, sounds correct, i although i had weird feeling about the individual pricing...
but it is convincing in the end.

CS4264 assignment 1
after finishing the assignment,
it was on amazon.com
Question 1 . Five Forces Analysis of online books retailing industry in 2006
Question 2. SWOT analysis of Amazon.com in 2006
Question 3. 3 Justifications of Amazon.com’s strategy to provide “Amazon Kindle” and the eBooks service in 2007
http://www.scribd.com/doc/27614068/cs4264-assignment-1
i feel that the module is quite easy
for a 4000+ level, the project is relatively tougher, and i am becoming a free-loader soon
hope i would get better in doing stuffs,
hope i would have more points to say
afraid of the debate for the project
but well, let's pray hard for the better
the assignment 2 is coming on the 8th week,
now it is the first day of 6th
godblessme....
my assignment result is out already
i got 8.5 upon 10 marks
but the average was 8.91 and median was 9
lowest was 7, highest was 10
Q1: -0.5, your answers are mostly the acceptable but not good factors, the substitute part is vague and not really good to me, the conclusion states high profit potential, which is not consistent with your five forces.
Q2:-0.5 Strength, if it is the feature of all B2C, then it is not a strength. Also, the threat is not a good one. it is too generic and no concrete argument or evidence it may become true.
Q3, -0.5 both your first and third answers are not good ones, although not entirely incorrect.
hope i can buck up on my assignment two
but the questions are damn difficult
