Shift in budget line when income changes
Suppose if income of the consumer increases, she can experience an expansion of her budget and hence budget line would move outwards in a parallel manner, assuming prices remain constant. Continue reading

Budget line and budget set
Suppose individual lives in a two commodity world {x,y} and prices she faces for these products are given by {p1,p2} , her income is m. Budget line all the bundles, she can afford, when she spends her entire income, i.e. p1x + p2y = m. Budget constraint shows all bundles which are affordable p1x + p2y ≤ m. Continue reading
Perfect Complements
Perfect complements are those goods, which have to be used together to satisfy a want. For example: car and fuel. This video explains what are perfect complements, what is the form of their utility function and how to draw an indifference curve of perfect complements. Continue reading
Perfect Substitutes
Perfect substitutes are those commodities which give equal satisfaction to an individual. For example: coke and pepsi. This video explains what are perfect substitutes, how does their utility function look like and how to draw their indifference curve Continue reading
