    Assumptions of Ordinal Utility Approach   Rationality: It is assumed that the consumer is rational who aims at maximizing his level of satisfaction for given income and prices of goods and services, which he wish to consume. He is expected to take decisions consistent with this objective. Ordinal Utility: The indifference curve assumes that the utility can only be expressed ordinally. This means the consumer can only tell his order of preference for the given goods and services. Transitivity and Consistency of Choice: The consumer’s choice is expected to be either transitive or consistent. The transitivity of choice means, if the consumer prefers commodity X to Y and Y to Z, then he must prefer commodity X to Z. In other words, if X= Y, Y = Z, then he must treat X=Z. The consistency of choice means that if a consumer prefers commodity X to Y at one point of time, he will not prefer commodity Y to X in another period or even will not consider them as equal. Nonsatiety: It is assumed that the consumer has not reached the saturation point of any commodity and hence, he prefers larger quantities of all commodities. Diminishing Marginal Rate of Substitution (MRS): The marginal rate of substitution refers to the rate at which the consumer is ready to substitute one commodity (A) for another commodity (B) in such a way that his total satisfaction remains unchanged. The MRS is denoted as DB/DA. The ordinal approach assumes that DB/DA goes on diminishing if the consumer continues to substitute A for B.

    the price reduction increases consumer purchasing power, known as the income effect (an outward shift of the budget constraint). ... Any good where the income effect more than compensates for the substitution effect is a Giffen good.

    (a) Increase in demand refers to a rise in demand due to changes in other factors, price remaining constant. Decrease in demand refers to fall in demand due to changes in other factors, price remaining constant.
