Budget Line
In this Chapter What You will Get ?
Note:
1. Indifference curves cannot cross each other as this
would be where a consumer was being iirational in
the choices.
2. Higher indifferences curve represents higher levels
of satisfaction.

Budget Line
• A budget line shows all possible combination of two commodities that could be
pursued with a given amount of income.
• straight line that slope downwards
• The budget line, also known as the budget constrain
• The equation of the budget line equation can be represented as follows:
M = Px × Qx + Py × Qy
• Where,
Px = cost of product X.
Qx = the quantity of product X.
Py = cost of product Y.
Qy = quantity of product Y.
M = consumer’s income.

Change in budget line
• 1. Change in income
• 2. Change in price-
Note:
1. Income Effect and Subtitution effect have a Positive
2. When the price of a normal good decreases, the budget
line moves from “XY” to “XZ”. The new Equilibrium
Point is at E2, where the new budget line “XZ” is
tangent to the indifference curve I2.
3. The change in quantity demanded due to a decrease in
price is the difference between B1 and B2 (Price
Effect)
4. The difference between B1 and B3 is a substitution
effect because the income effect has been offset.
5. The income effect can be obtained by subtracting the
substitution effect from the price effect or the same as
the difference B2 and B3.
The Income and Subsitution effect of price change (Inferior Good)
Note:
1. Income Effect is negative but not enough to outweight
the subtitution effect (Positive)
2. Price Effect is Positive the difference between B2 and
B1 (Price Effect)
3. The difference between B1 and B3 is a substitution
effect because the income effect has been offset.
4. The income effect can be obtained by subtracting the
substitution effect from the price effect or the same as
the difference B3 and B2.
The Income and Subsitution effect of price change (Giffen Good)
Note:
1. A Giffen good is a type of inferior good where the
quantity demanded falls when the price falls;
2. the quantity demanded increases as price increases.
3. This means that the income effect is negative but is
greater than the substitution effect
