Definition: An inferior good is a type of good whose demand declines when income rises. In other words, demand of inferior goods is inversely related to the income of the consumer.

Description: For example, there are two commodities in the economy -- wheat flour and jowar flour -- and consumers are consuming both. Presently both commodities face a downward sloping graph, i.e. the higher the price the lesser will be the demand and vice versa. If the income of consumer rises, then he would be more inclined towards wheat flour, which is a little costly than jowar flour.

There are a few commodities the demands for which move in the converse path of the earning of the customer. These goods are known as inferior goods.

As the earning of the customer rises, the demand for an inferior good drop, and as the earning drops, the demand for inferior good increases. Instances of inferior goods incorporate low quality food items like cereals. A commodity can be a normal commodity for the customer at some degrees of income and an inferior commodity for them at other degrees of income. At very low levels of earning, a customer’s demand for low-quality cereals can rise with earning. However, after a level, any rise in earning of the customer is likely to drop his or her consumption and utilization of such food items as they change to better quality cereals.

Division of labor is essential to economic progress because it allows people to specialize in particular tasks. This specialization makes workers more efficient, which reduces the total cost of producing goods or providing a service.

Division of labour means that the main process of production is split up into many simple parts and each part is taken by different workers .Who are specialised in the production of that specific part.

Division of labour is immensely important in our economic system because it allows for work to be done much more quickly and efficiently than it would be with out the division of labour

concave to the point of origin

The slope of production possibility curve is marginal opportunity cost which refers to the additional sacrifice that a firm makes when they shift resources and technology from production of one commodity to the other. Since resources are use specific, therefore every time when one more unit of a commodity is produced more units of the other commodity is sacrificed that results in increasing marginal opportunity cost which leads to the concave shape of PPC to the origin.

3. The lines, “I am the Poem of Earth”, said by the voice of the rain, reflects a connection between rain and poetry. This connection becomes more conspicuous in the final two lines, “(For song, issuing from its birth-place, after fulfillment, wandering  Reck’d or unreck’d, duly with love returns)”. In these lines, the poet draws similarities between rain and music observing that the life-cycle of rain and song are alike. The song issues from the heart of the poet and travels to reach others. It wanders and, whether heard and enjoyed or not, eventually returns to its creator with all due love. Similarly, rain originates from the earth, and after fulfilling its role of spreading beauty and purity, returns to its origin. Both are perpetual in nature. Moreover, the sound of the soft-falling rain is in itself a kind of music.
