Indifference Curve Approach
Target Students :
Topic :
Subject :
By Fong Tze Wing (98059610)
After this lesson, the students should
i. understand the derivation and meaning of a budget line.
ii. know how to find the utility-maximizing consumption point.
iii. know the effect of change in income and prices
on the utility-maximizing consumption point.
iv. understand the income effect and substitution effect
due to a change in price.
Objective
By Fong Tze Wing (98059610)
Why choosing this topic for presentation?
Since this topic requires students to learn the graphical
presentation of budget lines and indifference curves, the
students may find it difficult to understand as they were just promoted from certificate level.
By using Powerpoint presentation, teachers are expected to
present this abstract concept in the lesson more clearly and
effectively.

Derivation Of
A Budget Line
By Fong Tze Wing (98059610)
1. Mr. A has $1000 money income (I) Px = $5 & Py = $10
2. Suppose Mr. A spends all his money income on good x & good y, what combinations of good x & good y can be bought?
By Fong Tze Wing (98059610)
I = $1000Px = $5 & Py = $10
Y

100$1000 = $10

Do you know
the meaning of
a budget line now?
By Fong Tze Wing (98059610)
Budget Line :-- Maximum combination of good X & good Y that can be bought by a consumer, given his money income & the prices of good X & good Y.
I = $1000Px = $5 & Py = $10
