On the other hand, Robbins's definition of economics as a science of scarcity and choice emphasized on maximum satisfaction while satisfying unlimited wants through limited means which have alternative uses.

In case of individual consumer also, demand increases when price decreases and vice versa other factors remaining the same. It may be defined as tabular presentation of various units of price and quantity demanded for a commodity by a consumer during a certain period of time, other factors remaining the same. It is presented in the following schedule: Schedule of Individual demand.. In the above schedule, it is seen that a consumer demanded 1 kg of a commodity when price of the commodity is Rs. 10 per kg. When price decreases from Rs. 10 per kg to Rs. 8,Rs.6, Rs. 4 and Rs. 2 per kg, the quantity demanded for the commodity increases from 1 kg to 2 kg, 3 kg, 4 kg and 5 kg respectively. The table clearly shows the inverse relation between price and quantity demanded for a commodity. If we present the schedule in the form of diagram, we will get individual...
PPC- Transformation Curve... PPC is also called transformation curve because it shows the nature of transformation of one commodity into other with the shift of resources from one use to others. Production with given resources and technology are being fully utilized and employed. The combination of two commodities produced can lie anywhere on the PPC but inside and outside it as shown in the following figure: In the above figure, point ‘H' lies below the PPC is inefficient because the available resources and technology aren’t fully utilized. Similarly point ‘G' lie above the PPC is unattainable due to limited stocks of resources and technology.
