PART TWO Producers‚ Consumers‚ and Competitive Markets Chapter 3 Consumer Behavior Teaching Notes Now we step back from supply and demand analysis to gain a deeper understanding of what lies behind the supply and demand curves. It will help students understand where the course is heading if you explain that this chapter builds the foundation for deriving demand curves in Chapter 4‚ and that you will do the same for supply curves later in the course (beginning in Chapter 6).

Q.1. What are indifference curves? Explain the consumers’ equilibrium under the assumptions of ordinal approach. Utility of goods cannot be measured in terms of précised quantitative term. J. R. Hicks and R.G.D. Allen developed Indifference Curve analysis based on ordinal approach. Indifference curve (IC) is defined as the locus of point which show the different combination of two goods or commodities a consumer is indifferent about the point A or B or C or D. According to this analysis the consumer

Given the shape of your indifference curve‚ how would you describe the typical relationship between these two “products”? The two goods are perfect substitutes for each other. 5pennies are equivalent to a nickel. (2) You and I are in consumer equilibrium. CDs cost 10 dollars each and cassette tapes only 2 dollars each.
