BUDGET LINE
Budget Line:
The budget
line is an important element analysis of consumer behavior. The indifference map
shows people’s preferences for the combination of two goods. The actual choices
they will make, however, depends on their income. The budget line is drawn as a
continuous line. It identifies the options from which the consumer can choose
the combination of goods.
Diagram/Figure:
In the fig.
3.9 the line AF shows the various combinations of goods the consumer can
purchase. This line is called the budget line.
It shows 6
possible combinations of packets of biscuits and packets if coffee which a
consumer can purchase weekly. These combinations are indicated by points A, B,
C, D, E and. Point A indicates that 10 packet of biscuits can be purchased if
the entire income of $60 is devoted to the purchase of biscuits. Similarly,
point F shows the purchase of 5 packets of coffee for the entire income of $60
per week.
The budget
line AF indicates all the combinations of packets of biscuits and packets of
coffee which a consumer can buy given the assumed prices and income. In case, a
consumer decides to purchase combination of goods inside the budget line such as
G, then it involves a total outlay that is smaller then the amount of $60
per week. Any point outside the budget line such as H requires an outlay larger
than the consumer’s weekly income of $60.

monopoly
monopoly
Since monopoly firm is the only firm in the market, the firm’s demand curve is also the market demand curve, P = D = AR. The demand curve is a downward sloping line. A monopolist will produce at a point where MR = MC because that is the profit maximizing output. However, the price will be charged at higher than AC to reap supernormal profit.
Electricity can be classified as essential utility. The demand for electricity is relatively inelastic demand as the change in price do not directly affect the quantity demanded. Therefore, the demand curve look steep as shown in the graph. For example, when the price of electricity rises up, consumers has no choice but to accept the fact. (TNB, 2011)

Malaysia GDP growth was expected to increase by 4.3% in 2013 and with population of 29 million. (The Star, 2013) With that figure, the demand for electricity is expected to increase by five to six percent in the next two years.
At this price (P3), demand is more than supply. Consumers are willing to pay more than TNB is willing to supply. This can be result from the rise of production cost when government planned to remove the subsidy on electric. It is estimated that if the subsidy is removed, the true cost of power will exceed 40 sen per kilowatt-hour (kwh) compared with the current rate of 33. 54 sen/kwh (New Straits Times, 2013).
