    Study Notes

    Feasible Frontier and Indifference Curves

    • The student's feasible frontier shows the maximum attainable combinations of final exam grades and free time.
    • The feasible frontier is downward-sloping, illustrating a trade-off between grade and free time.
    • The indifference curves represent different levels of satisfaction for the student.
    • Higher indifference curves represent higher levels of satisfaction.
    • The curves are convex to the origin, indicating diminishing marginal rate of substitution.
    • Points along the indifference curves represent the same level of satisfaction.
    • Point D is preferred to point C because point D is on a higher indifference curve and is also attainable.
    • Points above IC_3 are preferred but unattainable because they are not on the feasible frontier.
    • Points below the feasible frontier are unattainable.
    • The optimal choice for the student is on the highest possible indifference curve that intersects the feasible frontier.
