- Economics Cafe was involved in a lawsuit from 2019 to 2022 and the estimated legal cost was over $200 000. As the lawsuit was initiated in 2019, Economics Cafe declared the estimated legal cost as an expense in the same year. However, the correct accounting practice, which we were not aware of at the same, is to declare the legal cost as an expense in the year in which the payment for the lawsuit is made rather than the year in which the lawsuit was initiated. Therefore, as the payment for the lawsuit was made over a period of four years from 2019 to 2022, we over-declared our expenses in 2019 but under-declared our expenses in 2020, 2021 and 2022. As a result, Mr. Edmund Quek underpaid tax in 2019 ($24256.93) but overpaid tax in 2020 ($19757.59), 2021 ($6648.37) and 2022 ($1947.0135). In addition to 2019, there was a marginal amount of tax underpaid in 2018 ($3912.24) related to the lawsuit initiated in 2019. The combined effect of the underpayment of tax in 2018 and 2019 and the overpayment of tax in 2020, 2021 and 2022 is an OVERPAYMENT of tax of $183.8035 over the period of five years. Workings: Tax Overpaid = $19757.59 (2020) + $6648.37 (2021) + $1947.0135 (2022) - $3912.24 (2[...]

- The JC2 classes on Tuesday (5pm-7pm) and Wednesday (5pm-7pm) will commence on 12 January 2021 and 13 January 2021 respectively. Students who wish to switch to a weekday class can so do simply by informing Mr Edmund Quek through email. Like the classes on weekends, students who choose to attend a weekday class can do so online or onsite. The login details will be the same as those for weekend classes. It is important to note that Mr Edmund Quek teaches in a cycle which starts on Tuesday and ends on Sunday. Therefore, students who are unable to attend their regular classes and wish to come for a makeup lesson should do so in the same week. To put it somewhat differently, a student should not attend two lessons in the same week as the same content will be taught in all the classes in the same week.

- There will be 4 lessons in December 2020. The first two lessons in the first and second weeks will be on macroeconomics which all students are required to attend. However, the last two lessons in the third and fourth weeks will be on microeconomics revision which ONLY students who joined after the JC1 Promotional Examination are required to attend. In other words, students who joined before the JC1 Promotional Examination are required to attend 2 lessons in December and students who joined after the JC1 Promotional Examination are required to attend 4 lessons. Nonetheless, students who joined before the JC1 Promotional Examination but wish to attend the last two lessons in the third and fourth weeks which will be on microeconomics revision are allowed to do so. This is especially true for students who joined at a time which was near the JC1 Promotional Examination and hence have a relatively weak foundation in microeconomics.
