What is the income consumption curve?

Income Consumption curve (icc) is a curve which determine the consumption of a consumer base on in his/her income When Income is High, Spending Capacity increases, higher the spending capacity - more the demand.

Derivation of demand curve from price consumption curve?

From the question I believe you know what is price consumption curve, so I start from there. After maximising utility we find the optimal consumption bundle called the demand functions. These demand functions are functions of prices and income. A price consumption curve is the locus of points that connect the optimal demand functions as any one commodity price changes (ceteris paribus). Now if we remember, a demand curve is a downward sloping line in a Price X Quantity framework of a particular good. And it is clear that from the Price consumption curve that as prices increase we reduce the consumption of that commodity and substitute it with the other goods. In a partial equilibrium framework i.e. Price x Quantity framework everything else is held constant, therefore as price of say "Y" increases putting in the demand function we will get that its consumption falls, hence getting a downward sloping DD (demand Curve).

How can price consumption curve be used to hep determine the individual demand curve?

The price-consumption curve explains how changes in the cost of a good, relative to another good, also effects an individuals consumption choices. The individual demand curve takes a single good and explains the relationship between the cost of that good, and the quantity demanded. Therefore shifts in the indifference curves (PCC) based on consumption possibilities, should correlate to the shifts in the demand curves. The easiest way to look at it, is that that your horizontal axis points on both your budget line, and your individual demand curve, should be the same. Your Vertical axises will differ because they are measuring different costs, ie, monetary cost (Demand Curve) and oppurtunity cost (budget line/constraint).
