Money money money

Right now I'm going to attempt a financial analysis of the past year for our class. I'm including monetary benefits as a direct result of SPM results. I'll try to be as boastful as possible. =P I'm going to make a lot of very rough estimations, though, so don't take this analysis as fact.

Gains
1. RM150 for our achievements during sports day.
2. RM 500 per student for 20 students from Yayasan Sarawak for a total of RM10, 000.
3.Five Petronas scholarships (that I know of) worth roughly RM400,000 each, for a total of RM2,000,000.
4. A few partial scholarships from Swinburne (two, I think) worth around RM7,000 each, for a total of RM14,ooo
5. RM300 from Maybank (or other banks) for roughly ten students for a total of RM3,000.
6. A fore-estimate of three JPA scholarships worth RM 500,000 each for a total of RM1.5 million. (This figure will be amended as the actual results come in this Thursday)
7. Miscellanous overseas scholarships worth RM500,000.
8. An estimate of RM100 per A for SPM from parents for roughly 350 As for a total of RM35,000.
9.Miscellanous reward items (from parents, relations, institutions, etc.) worth roughly RM15,000.
10. An unknown number of US dollars for Mozilla downloads from our blog, my guess is US$5, or roughly RM18. (what's the real figure, Dave?)

Total gains:RM4,077,168

Losses
1. School fees worth roughly RM100 per student for 45 students for a total of RM4500.
2. Fines paid to school for being late, not wearing nametag, untucked shirts, etc., worth roughly RM30.
3. An estimated RM25 for broken lab equipment.
4. RM100 or so for the end-of-the-year bash at Agan's house.

Total loss:RM4655

And so we have a net gain of..........

RM4,072,513 or 4.072513 million ringgit!!!

Man, we did good, didn't we? =)

p.s. We shouldn't forget though, that the most important gain was lifelong friendships, which are priceless. (For everything else, there's Mastercard)

p.s.s. Feel free to move around the numbers if you've got more info, or drop a comment.

p.s.s.s. For those with straight A's in SPM: In case you don't know, Yayasan Sarawak is giving us RM500 each this Friday, 11th May, at the Civic Centre, 8am. We're supposed to meet at school first before 7.30am. Dresscode is formal. Be there, or send a representative.

All that dough, and probably 98% goes to our own tertiary education. I'd say that leaves us with about RM80000 to spend on ourselves.

Haha you're not too far off, so far we've earned 8.35 dollars from Adsense. Another 41.65 to go before they send a cheque... Keep clicking the ads!
