1) Draw representative indifference curves for Garbage and pollution. Explain the slope.
2) Draw representative indifference curves for an individual who consumes 3 Dove dark chocolates
with one cup of milk and at exactly that ratio.
3) Draw representative indifference curves for penny and nickel.
4) John is willing to give up 2 apples for one orange and always at that ratio. Kate is willing to give
up 3 apples for an orange and always at that ratio. Draw representative indifference curve for
each of them and compare the slopes. Intuitively what does the slope represent?
