What is shape of indifference curve?
what will be the shape of indifference curve if one of the two goods is a free commodity
What are the characteristics of indifference curve?
1) Concave down. 2) Always decreasing. 3) Represents a fixed utility value (and therefore can never intersect another indifference curve). 4) Is considered equally optimal any where on the curve. 5) The lower the indifference curve is, the less optimal it is. The optimal indifference curve is the one furthest away from the origin.
How to draw an indifference curve showing income consumption curve for normal goods?
When income of consumer incresing this will lead the indifference curve to shift out ward in case for normal goods.So incresing in income of consumer it lead to incresing the purchasing power of consumer or consumer will demand much goods.
What is the relationship between the indifference curve and perfect substitutes?
The relationship between the indifference curve and perfect substitutes is that in the case of perfect substitutes, the indifference curve is a straight line. This means that the consumer is equally satisfied with either good and is willing to trade one for the other at a constant rate.
What happens to the marginal rate of substitution as you move along a convex indifference curve?
The MRS measures how much of a good you are willing to give up in exchange for one more unit of the other good, keeping utility constant. The MRS diminishes along a convex indifference curve in that as you move down along the indifference curve, you are willing to give up less and less of the one good in exchange for the other. The MRS is also the slope of the indifference curve, which increases (becomes less negative) as you move down along the indifference curve. The MRS is constant along a linear indifference curve, since in this case the slope does not change. The consumer is always willing to trade the same number of units of one good in exchange for the other.

Definitions of indifference curve by j r hicks?
Indifference curve is locus of point of one combination of two product consume by consumer. To make satisfaction constant consumer if increase one product he have to sacrifice other product unit.
Is it possible to have thick indifference curves?
Indifference curves are not supposed to have any thickness to them at all. It would not be rational if an indifference curve had thickness to it. It is supposed to look like a really thin pancake with only one side.
How to draw a butt?
you make one curve. then you make another curve. presto? you have a butt.
Give details that why an Indifference Curve is not concave?
Because of diminishing marginal rate of substitution, which is the principle that the more of one good a consumer has, the more they are willing to give up for an additional unit of the other good. Therefore the indifference curve must get flatter as we go along it
Why an indifference curve has a negative slope?
As quantity consumed of one good (X) increases, total utility (satisfaction) would increase if not offset by a decrease in the quantity consumed of the other good (Y). Satisfaction, or utility must be offset so that at each point on the curve 'indifference' is retained.
What does a consumer's indifference curve do?
A consumer's indifference curve represents a graphical illustration of different combinations of two goods that provide the same level of utility or satisfaction to the consumer. Points along the curve indicate that the consumer is indifferent between those combinations, meaning they would derive equal satisfaction from any of them. The shape of the curve typically reflects the consumer's preferences and the rate at which they are willing to substitute one good for another. Indifference curves never intersect and are typically convex to the origin, illustrating diminishing marginal rates of substitution.
How the indifference curve and budget line apparatus are used to derive a consumer's demand curve?
Indifference curve: series of curve reflecting the preference structure of the individual. Budget constraint: the material resource constraint the individual faces in choices. The demand curve, being inherently designated as rational, seeks to maximise utility. Thus, in a Walrasian equilibrium, the consumer construct his demand curve at the points where his contract curve equals to his budget constraint (or, in mathematical terms, when the constraint and optimal indifferences are tangent to one another). These tangencies construct a curve which is the individual's demand function.
