Consider an indifference curve for someone deciding how to allocate time between work (and thus consumption) and leisure. Suppose the wage increases. An increase in the wage rate results in a    substitution effect for consumption. If consumption is a normal good, an increase in the wage rate results in a    income effect, but if consumption is an inferior good, the income effect is    .   True or False: The person's consumption may fall as a result of the higher wage if consumption is an inferior good. True   False

Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution

MRTS reaches a manufacturer when a part of the product is lowered to sustain the manufacturing level when the other part is extended. It is the level of the quantity that is lowered when one extra volume is used, and the output is unchanged.

Preferences and Utility Analysis

Before understanding what is preference and utility analysis, it is very important to understand the terms preference and utility separately.
