Today I was at my microecons tutorial when Alvin (the tutor) threw a question about one of the, erm, questions in our tutorial sheet. Something about taxes- if there was a tax on the sales of a product, would there be a shift in the demand or supply curve?
So naturally I answered:" Supply." (simply because the tax is on the SALES of a product, so everytime you SELL a product, you are taxed- hence the tax is on the sellers right?
so I thought, or that was how my logic worked.
So then Alvin moved on to the girl next to me:" What do you think?"
*pause*
"Erm....demand."
And he moved on again to the next, and the next, and so on. They all answered demand.
As I was about to comfort myself that I was primarily a SCIENCE student, so getting a microeconomics question wrong was okay, Alvin said:" its SUPPLY, people. blahblahblah*droning on*"
HA!the only science student in the bloody tutorial class, and he gets the question right! Serves you right for answering blindly and following the answer of someone you know, and not someone with logic! Just because the girl was someone you knew and I wasn't you blindly follow her into the deep pits of wrongness, and not my logical deduction!
Erm. Yea. Hey I am NOT over reacting okay..this is how my tutorial class works. Me against all of the other puny fresh-out-of-college amateurs! Science against business-minds! the only fella with a 19__ starting digits in his monash ID against the other 21___ starting digit people!
Score 1, ME! whoot!
