Marginal product when for increasing product only one inputs is increased while
other inputs are kept constant.
15.

supply of commodity. When will it result in
(a)
No change in equilibrium price. (b) A fall in
equilibrium price.
16.
(a) What is budget line ? What does the point on
it indicate in terms of prices?

equilibrium? Explain. 6
OR
Explain the following: -

origin?
(b)
Why does a higher indifference curve represent a
higher level of satisfaction
