Activities which are not concerned with money are called non-economic activities, e.g., housewife cooks food for her family. In such activities, there is no expectation of any kind of monetary reward or benefit. They are inspired by sentimental reasons and performed out of love.

Following are the properties of an indifference curve
- Indifference curves are always convex to the origin: Due to decreasing MRS, MRS declines continuously because of the law of diminishing marginal utility.
- Indifference curves never touch or intersect each other: Each indifference curve shows a different level of satisfaction. Intersection point shows the same satisfaction level which is not possible.
- A higher indifference curve represents a higher level of satisfaction: Due to monotonic preferences, higher indifference curve shows bundles having more of one commodity and not less of other good in comparison of la ower indifference curve.
- Indifference curve slope downwards: It implies that as a consumer consumes more of one good, he must consume less of the other good.

Individual demand refers to the quantity of a good that a consumer demands at a particular price in a given period of time.
- Individual Demand Schedule
| Price of Ice-cream (Rs) |
Quantity demanded (units) by (A) |
| 1 | 4 |
| 2 | 3 |
| 3 | 2 |
| 4 | 1 |
Market demand is the sum of different individuals demand at different price level at a particular period of time
- Market Demand Schedule
| Price of Ice-cream (Rs) |
A's Demand | B's Demand | Market demand (A+B) |
| 1 | 4 | 5 | 4 + 5 = 9 |
| 2 | 3 | 4 | 3 + 4 = 7 |
| 3 | 2 | 3 | 2 + 3 = 5 |
| 4 | 1 | 2 | 1 + 2 = 3 |

Change in quantity demanded and law of demand are different :
Differences between change in demand and change in quantity demanded are
| Basis | Change in Demand | Change in quantity Demanded |
| Reason | It is caused by a change in prices of substitutes,change in prices of complementary goods,change in income, etc. other than the own price of the commodity. | It is caused by an increase or decrease in the price of the given commodity, keeping other factors constant. |
| Impact on demand curve | It leads to a shift in the demand curve either rightwards (known as increase in demand)or leftwards(known as decrease in demand). | It leads to a movement along the same demand curve either upwards(known as contraction in demand)or downwards(known as expansion in demand) |
| Diagrammatic Presentation | Diagrammatically, this is shown as a forward or backward shift in demand curve.![]() |
Diagrammatically, this is shown as a downward or an upward movement on the same demand curve.![]() |

Conditions of consumer's equilibrium (using Marginal Utility Analysis) : A consumer is said to be in equilibrium when he is getting maximum satisfaction with the given market prices and the given his or her income.
when a consumer is consuming two goods, equilibrium is achieved when
{tex}\frac { M U _ { x } } { P _ { x } } = \frac { M U _ { y } } { P _ { y } } = M U _ { m }{/tex}
Where,
MUX and MUy = Marginal utilities of good X and good y respectively
Px and Py = Price of good X and good Y respectively
MUm = Marginal utility of money. If MUm =1,
then the condition of equilibrium is reduced to
{tex}\frac { \mathrm { MU } _ { \mathrm { x } } } { \mathrm { P } _ { \mathrm { x } } } = \frac { \mathrm { MU } _ { \mathrm { y } } } { \mathrm { P } _ { \mathrm { y } } }{/tex}
Or {tex}\frac { \mathrm { MU } _ { x } } { \mathrm { MU } _ { \mathrm { y } } } = \frac { \mathrm { P } _ { \mathrm { x } } } { \mathrm { P } _ { \mathrm { y } } }{/tex}
The above condition says that the consumer will be in equilibrium at that point where the ratio of the marginal utilities of two goods is equal to ratio of the prices of the two goods.
The above conditions are based on the assumption that the Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility holds true. If MU does not fall as consumption increases, then consumer will never reach the equilibrium situation.

Indifference Curve Slopes Downwards :
This property implies that to increase the consumption of X good, the consumer has to reduce the consumption of Y good, so as to remain at the same level of satisfaction as shown in the given diagram:
To increase the quantity of X good from OX to
OX1, the consumer has to reduce the quantity of good Y from OY to OY1.
