Differentiate between indifference curve and Budget line.


Differentiate between indifference curve and Budget line is given below:

An indifference curve is a combination of two goods that give the consumer equal satisfaction and utility.
A budget line is a line showing the alternative combinations of any two goods that a consumer can afford at given prices for the goods within given level of income.
All points give the same utility in indifference curve to satisfy consumer. 
Combinations of two selected products that a consumer can afford at specified prices for the products according to their particular income level.
The main use of indifference curves is in the representation of potentially observable demand patterns for individual consumers over commodity.
In budget line Total spending for goods and services can fall short of the budget constraint but may not exceed it. 

Discuss different properties of Indifference curve.
Indifference curves slope downward to the right: This property implies that an indifference curve has a negative slope.
Indifference curves are convex to the origin: The indifference curve is relatively flatter in its right-hand portion and relatively steeper in its left-hand portion.
Indifference curves cannot intersect each other: important property of indifference curves is that they cannot intersect each other.
A higher indifference curve represents a higher level of satisfaction than a lower indifference curve: In other words, the combinations which lie on a higher indifference curve will be preferred to the combinations which lie on a lower indifference curve.

What are the Crosby’s 14 Steps Work.

The 14 Steps of Crosby are following. 1. Management Commitment= It is necessary to consistently produce quality products and services at the optimum price. This commitment must also be transparent to all employees for the prevention of defects in all the operating departments. 2. Improved Quality= Search for team members who will model quality improvement commitment, every function of an operation must contributes to defect levels, every function must participate in the quality improvement effort . The quality improvement team should be able to effectively commit themselves to improvement of quality. 3. Measuring the Quality= Firstly you have to know exactly where your products and services lie when it comes to conforming to requirements. Thus, the third step on Crosby's list is to measure quality. Determine where there is room for improvement and where potential for improvement exists. 4. Cost of Quality= Explain how the cost of quality figures into the overal...

Discuss national income and Gross domestic product effect on national income.

Discuss national income and Gross domestic product effect on national income. Before we start to explain let’s take a look on closed and open economy In a closed economy, all output is sold domestically, and expenditure is divided into three components: consumption, investment, and government purchases. Y = C + I + G In this equation Y is the total output, C is the total consumption, I is the total investment and G is the total government expenditure. In an open economy, some output is sold domestically and some are exported abroad.                                                                   Y = C + I + G + NX In the above equation each word stands for is following: Consumption (C) Investment (I) Government Purchases (G) Net Exports (NX) Consumption : The spending by households on goods and services, with the exc...

Define Parametric and Non parametric test. When these tests are used? Also define their sub types along with examples

Explanation: Parametric tests = It is the Procedure of hypothesis which explains that the variables of interest are measured on at least an interval scale. It is parameters defining properties of the population distribution from which one's data are drawn, Uses of Parametric Tests 1: uses in skewed and non-normal distributions=Parametric tests can be used with continuous data that are non-normal if you satisfy these sample size guidelines. For example sample t test (each group should be greater than 15) and in ANOVA (if you have 10 -12 groups then each group should be greater than 20). 2: uses for when spread of each group is different= For nonparametric tests data for all groups must have the same spread (dispersion). If your groups have a different spread, the nonparametric tests might not provide valid results. In parametric tests you’re good to go even when the groups have different spreads. 3: uses as a Power=Parametric tests usually have more statistical power tha...
