Factors of production (labour and capital) are always jointly used: Labour is combined with capital (say plant, machinery etc). In India, there is severe shortage of capital. In the absence of capital, labour cannot be used. Hence, there is huge unemployment of labour although scarcity of resources is a universal fact.

Marginal utility refers to additional utility obtained from the consumption of an additional unit of a commodity. To illustrate, if 10th unit yields satisfaction of 100 utils, while 11th unit yields satisfaction of 105 utils, then marginal utility derived from the 11 th unit is 5 utils.
Law of diminishing marginal utility states that as consumption increases, marginal utility tends to decline. It is known as fundamental psychological law.

When consumer consumes two commodities, then equilibrium is achieved when consumer equates the ratio of marginal utility derived from one commodity in comparison to it's price with the ratio of the marginal utility of another commodity in comparison to it's price which states that consumer is rational in consumption of both the commodities.

An indifference curve is a graph showing combination of two goods that give the consumer equal satisfaction and utility. Each point on an indifference curve indicates that a consumer is indifferent between the two and all points give him the same utility. The theory of indifference curves was developed by Francis Ysidro Edgeworth, who explained in his 1881 book the mathematics needed for their drawing; later on, Vilfredo Pareto was the first author to actually draw these curves, in his 1906 book. An indifference curve is a graphical representation of a combined products that gives similar kind of satisfaction to a consumer thereby making them indifferent. Every point on the indifference curve shows that an individual or a consumer is indifferent between the two products as it gives him the same kind of utility.

| Questionnaire | Schedule |
| The questionnaire is one of the methods used for data collection. The questionnaire will have many questions, with each question having multiple choices. | The schedule is also one of the methods of data collection. It will have a set of statements, questions and space given to note down the answers. |
| Questionnaire method of data collection is preferred when the respondents are willing to cooperate. In addition, to deploy this method the respondents need to be literate. | The Schedule method of data collection can be utilised irrespective of the respondent’s literacy. It can be used when the respondents are literate and can be used even when the respondents are illiterate. |
| The type of technique used in the Questionnaire method is Quantitative. | The type of technique used in the Schedule method is Qualitative. |
| In the Questionnaire method, the grouping is made on the basis of different categories like location, age, gender etc. | In the schedule method of data collection, the grouping may exist or may not exist. |
| Informants receive questionnaires through emails, posts and the answers will be given as per instructions given in the cover letter. | Answers in the Schedule method of data collection are filled by research workers/enumerators. |
| In the Questionnaire method, there is no scope for direct personal contact with the respondents. | In the Schedule method, there is direct personal contact of the respondents with the enumerators. |
| The cost incurred in the questionnaire method of data collection is economical in comparison with the schedule. The cost is less even if the sample size used is very large. Predominantly the money is spent on preparing questionnaires only. | The cost incurred in the Schedule method of data collection is very expensive since there is the cost involved in preparing the schedule, cost incurred on enumerators in addition to the training imparted to them. |
| The coverage of Questionnaire method is large as the questionnaires can even be sent to respondents who are not easily accessible. | The coverage of this method is relatively small as there are constraints in sending enumerators to larger areas. |

Random sampling refers to the method in which each of the sampling unit (units in the population) has a non-zero probability of being selected into the sample. Simple random sampling is a special case of random sampling when each of the sampling unit has equal chance of being selected.
Non random sampling is a method of sampling wherein, it is not known that which individual from the population will be selected as a sample.

The Law of Demand states that other things remaining constant, the quantity demanded of a commodity expands with fall in its price and contracts with a rise in its price.
So, there is an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded of a commodity. This is explained with the help of an imaginary table and the curve which is based on imaginary data:

Exceptions to the Law The law will not hold good under following circumstances:
(i) Conspicuous consumption The Law of Demand will not apply in case of costly items such as diamonds. These commodities will be demanded, even if the prices have gone very high.
(ii) Conspicuous necessities Certain things become the necessity of modern life, so we have to purchase these goods inspite of their price. The demand of television sets and automobiles has not gone down inspite of the increase in their price.
(iii) Ignorance If the consumer is not aware of the competitive price of the commodity, he may purchase more of the commodity even at higher price. Such ignorance of the buyers makes the Law of Demand ineffective.

Consumer equilibrium is the state when the consumer balances his income and his purchase value.
The consumer reacts proud of himself when he made a perfect balance between his expense and the expenditure.
This equilibrium will be made when the income remains somewhat after spending for purchasing all the goods.
