Question

Q4. What is the impact of diminishing marginal rate of substitution on the slope of an indifference curve?

Answer 1

The marginal rate of substitution (MRS) is the amount of a good that a consumer is willing to give up for another good, as long as the new good is equally satisfying. It's used in indifference theory to analyze consumer behavior. The marginal rate of substitution is calculated between two goods placed on an indifference curve, displaying a frontier of equal utility for each combination of "good A" and "good B."

SLOPE of marginal revenue curve is less than slope of marginal cost curve

• They have the same constant, and the marginal revenue curve is twice as steep as the demand curve.
• The coefficient on Q is twice as large in the marginal
