Question

Chitra Alice · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : False, Explanation :  At a boundary optimum, the consumer's indifference curve is not tangent to the budget line; instead, the consumer is consuming a corner solution where the optimum is found at the boundary of the consumption set, not at a point where the marginal rate of substitution equals the price ratio.
