MBBS IN SINGAPORE, A CASE STUDY According to the 2017 CIA World Fact book, Singapore has a highly developed and successful free-market economy. It enjoys a remarkably open and corruption-free environment, stable prices, and a per capita GDP higher than that of most developed countries. Unemployment is very low. The economy depends heavily on exports, particularly of consumer electronics, information technology products, medical and optical devices, pharmaceuticals, and on its vibrant transportation, business, and financial services sectors. The economy contracted 0.6% in 2009 as a result of the global financial crisis, but has continued to grow since 2010 on the strength of renewed exports. Growth in 2014-15 was slower at under 3%, largely …show more content…
It includes: 1. Manufacturing/production expenses, 2. Raw material costs, 3 Custom duties and other levies paid on imports, and 4 Conversion costs (i.e., price of electricity, telephone service, gas, and all types of taxes and levies charged during the production …show more content…
Value: $ value is a current prevailing market price. This price is not applicable to consumers and is only used to calculate the numbers of bonds needed to purchase a good or service. According to the most conservative estimates, if all the indirect taxes were abolished, production cost would be reduced by 50%. This reduced cost, which includes actual cost and profit, is the dollar value in MBBS. Bond Value: The MBBS bond value is the price of goods and services, which is twice the value of a current dollar value. Bond: A MBBS bond replaces all indirect taxes, custom duties, excise taxes, surcharges, and all other levies. The cheaper the bond, the less tax paid by a consumer or business. Actual Price: In MBBS, the actual selling price is the price a subscriber or consumer has to pay, and this price depends on the cost of bonds. The cheaper the bond, the cheaper the price of the commodity or service provided by the government. Production Cost: In MBBS, production costs will be reduced by 50% because all direct and indirect taxes, duties, surcharges, and other levies are abolished and replaced by bonds. These taxes are eliminated because the government is able to collect enough money within a few days of implementing MBBS to meets it annual
These costs can be both personnel and non-personnel and both direct and

(Document 9). Before mass production, every product had to made by hand and took a long time, which increased the cost of the item. Using mass production to quickly and efficiently create the good allowed the item to be valued at a cheaper cost. Now everyone could buy simple goods, not only the
Throughout the night, Mary dreamt of Bill . Her mind raced through memories from the first time their eyes met, how those sweet blue eyes sparkled when he laughed, and how they were in love and drifted apart. She also remembered 4 years ago, when she had seen him while away on business in Orlando, Florida. She thought it had been destiny at the time, seeing each other thousands of miles away from their original homes and being in the same hotel.
2. TECHNOLOGY: Automation is led way to decrease in the cost of production. Techniques to optimize production means the suppliers will supply more at a lesser rate. Coca cola recently implemented the Siemens automation to increase the capacity of its bottling plants. This ensures that the capacity of the plants increased manifolds and thus lowering the cost of production.
Based on our calculations in Appendix 1. at the first stage support costs were allocated to two existing departments, i.e. Machining and Assembly, based on direct labor hours. Therefore total amount of costs assigned to Machining department is $472.000,00 and to Assembly department is $248.000,00. At the second stage total costs from both departments were distributed to products (Regular and Deluxe). Referring to our calculations in Appendix 1.
Before delving into the actual meaning of value and its influence, one must understand the difference between real and nominal commodities. Nominal value is a reflection on the rate at which a currency can obtain a certain good, whereas real value focuses on the most precise measurement and estimation of labor and its commodities. In essence, real value is a direct correlation to the amount of input, or labor, that one has exerted in the production of his good or service. While the individual cannot solely determine his nominal value at any given time, he can calculate the real value of
MAJOR PROBLEM: SINGAPORE WATER SHORTAGE ISSUE Short history of Singapore: Singapore gained independence on 9th August in 1965 from the merger with Malaysia. After its separation from Malaysia, Singapore faces major problem in many areas. Singapore is a small island of area size of 718.3km square. Given her limited land capacity, Singapore face a severe lack of natural resources such as water. In the ’60s and ’70s, Singapore was heavily reliant on imported water from Malaysia and faced urbanisation challenges such as polluted rivers, water shortages and widespread flooding.
Singapore has an ever growing free-market economy and compared to other developed countries, the Gross Domestic product is relatively higher. (Cia.gov, 2016). 2.0 Unemployment in Singapore The above chart sights the employability rate in Singapore from 2006 to the 1st quarter of 2016 (Stats.mom.gov.sg, 2016). As we can refer here, the rate has been decreasing.
Roughly 42% of a sale price covers the cost of materials to make the product. These materials include either direct materials or materials or parts that are sourced from other providers, including engines. Engines are the most expensive and largest cost of materials for the Group. For example, for some basic law mowers, the engine can account for as much as 50% of the total product cost. Shared efforts by R&D and purchasing are focused on reducing costs in this area by 10% by 2016.
In a survey conducted by The Straits Times and research firm Nexus Link in 2015, seven in 10 families in Singapore pack their pre-school children off to tuition. The most common reason for private tuition - cited by more than half of the parents with children under seven - was to keep up with others. It is my opinion that the increasing prevalence of private tuition nowadays is superfluous. Our education system is top-notch. This year, Singapore topped the biggest global school rankings published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
The employment growth has not been proportionate with population and GDP growth. The fact that there has not been any significant growth in employment despite considerable acceleration
