Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, C

In Global Economics for Managers, indifference curves have two key properties: higher curves represent higher utility, and curves do not cross, making options A and C correct.

If curves crossed, preferences would be inconsistent. Higher curves indicate greater satisfaction.

Options B and D violate consumer theory assumptions.

Thus, A and C are correct.

I have a vague memory of discussing how indifference curves can’t intersect, but I’m not completely confident about it.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think it was clear that indifference curves slope downward, so maybe that's part of it too.

I’m not sure about B and C, but I feel like indifference curves shouldn’t cross because that would imply inconsistent preferences.

I remember that higher indifference curves are generally preferred, so I think A is definitely one of the answers.
