Unit 2: Consumer Theory
1. What is a consumer preference? What are the assumptions about consumer preferences?
2. What is an indifference curve? Explain the main properties of an indifference curve. What are the assumptions on which indifference curve analysis of a demand is based? 2020
3. Explain why consumer’s difference curve have negative slope, do not intersect and are convex to the origin.
4. What is consumer’s equilibrium? Explain with the indifference curve and budget constraint how a consumer attains equilibrium.        2021
5. Define income effect and substitution effect. Explain how price effect of a commodity is decomposed into income effect and substitution effect. 2021
6. What is budget line? What does it intercept on X-axis show? What does its intercept on Y-axis show? What does slope of the budget line measure?
7. What is price consumption curve? What is the relationship between price consumption curve and price elasticity of demand? Derive demand curve from price consumption curve.
8. What is law of Demand? How would you explain it with substitution effect and income effect? Mention the assumptions which are necessary for law of demand analysis (2012).
Unit 3: Production and Cost
Part A
2. What is an isoquant? Explain its properties. Identify the economic region of production with the help of isoquant curve. 2012, 2013(SN), 2014, 2015(SN), 2016, 2018
