BECC 101 Solved Question Paper June 2026 is our answer file for IGNOU paper C-3448, the Introductory Microeconomics term-end paper sat by BAECH learners this June. All 12 questions are answered in full in the file. Two of them sit on this page, so you can judge the depth before you ask for the rest on WhatsApp 9899436384.
1. What the June 2026 Solved Paper Covers
BECC 101 Introductory Microeconomics is the six-credit, first-semester core course of IGNOU's Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Economics (BAECH), and the June 2026 paper tests it through 12 questions worth 100 marks.
The paper moves across the whole course. You are asked why an economy should produce on the PPC, how to work out marginal revenue when elasticity is 1/3, how to derive demand for a normal good with real income and then money income held constant, and how a ₹40 wage floor changes employment in a labour market.
It also reaches the harder corners of the syllabus: Slutsky's decomposition, a Hicksian demand curve for a Giffen good, the gap between the modern and Marshallian theories of rent, and the lemon problem in Section C. Our file answers every part in the order printed.
Four parts ask for a diagram: Q2(b), Q7(a), Q9(a) and Q9(b). Each one is drawn and labelled in the file. The three numerical parts, Q2(a), Q5 and Q6(b), are worked step by step with the formula stated first, so you can follow the method and not just copy the final figure.
2. Two Answers Solved in Full, Ten Held Back
Questions 1 and 2 from Section A are solved in full below, and the other 10 questions are listed after them exactly as printed, with answers kept for the full file.
Producing on the PPC, and consumer surplus
Question 1 (a): "An economy produces on the PPC (Production Possibility Curve) rather than anywhere inside it." Discuss. (10)
Question 1 (b): Define consumer surplus. How is it calculated? Do all consumers receive the same level of consumer surplus? (10)
(a) Why an economy produces on the PPC
A production possibility curve (PPC) shows the maximum combinations of two goods an economy can produce when it uses all its resources fully and efficiently with a given technology. Points on the curve are attainable and efficient, points inside it are attainable but wasteful, and points outside it cannot be reached with present resources.
The curve rests on four assumptions: the quantity of resources is fixed, technology is given, resources are fully employed, and some resources suit one good better than the other. The last assumption makes the curve concave to the origin, because each extra unit of one good costs more and more of the other.
Take point A inside the curve. From A, the economy could produce more Good Y with the same Good X (moving up to B) or more Good X with the same Good Y (moving across to C). Staying at A means idle workers, unused machines or poor methods, so output is lost for no gain. A rational economy therefore tries to move out to the frontier. The full file carries a labelled PPC diagram showing A inside the curve, B and C on it, and an unattainable point D outside.
On the PPC itself, the only way to get more of one good is to give up some of the other. This sacrifice is the opportunity cost, measured by the marginal rate of transformation (MRT), which is the slope of the curve. Because every point on the curve squeezes the most out of scarce resources, such points are called productively efficient.
The statement is still an aim rather than a guarantee. A recession, idle factory capacity, strikes, natural disasters or misallocation (for example, fertile land kept fallow) can push actual output to a point like A. The gap between A and the curve is the real cost of unemployment: goods that could have been produced but were not.
Conclusion. The statement holds under full employment and efficient use, which is the benchmark the PPC is drawn for. Policies that cut unemployment move the economy from inside towards the curve, while growth in resources or better technology shifts the whole curve outward.
(b) Consumer surplus
Consumer surplus is the difference between the amount a consumer is willing to pay for a quantity of a good and the amount actually paid for it. The idea was developed by Alfred Marshall, who treated it as the extra satisfaction a buyer enjoys over and above the price.
Under the cardinal utility approach, a consumer keeps buying until the marginal utility of the last unit, measured in money, equals the price. Every earlier unit gives more utility than the price paid, which creates the surplus:
Consumer surplus = Total utility in money terms − (Price × Quantity bought)
| Unit bought | Marginal utility (₹) | Price paid (₹) | Surplus on the unit (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | 50 | 20 | 30 |
| 2nd | 40 | 20 | 20 |
| 3rd | 30 | 20 | 10 |
| 4th | 20 | 20 | 0 |
| Total | 140 | 80 | 60 |
The buyer stops at the 4th unit, where marginal utility equals the ₹20 price. The buyer would have paid ₹140 for the four units but pays only ₹80, so consumer surplus is ₹60.
With a demand curve, consumer surplus is the area below the demand curve and above the price line, up to the quantity bought. For a straight-line demand curve it is a triangle: CS = ½ × Q × (Pmax − P), where Pmax is the price at which demand falls to zero.
For example, if demand is Q = 100 − 2P and the price is ₹20, the buyer takes 60 units and Pmax is ₹50. Consumer surplus is ½ × 60 × (50 − 20) = ₹900.
Do all consumers get the same surplus? No. Willingness to pay differs with tastes and need, and incomes differ too, so the marginal utility of money is not the same for everyone. A rich buyer values each rupee less and will pay more for the same unit.
Position in the market matters as well. The marginal buyer, whose reservation price just equals the market price, gets almost no surplus, while intramarginal buyers who value the good highly get a lot. A buyer who purchases more units also collects surplus on more units.
Price discrimination changes the picture again: a seller who charges each buyer close to their maximum price (first-degree discrimination) turns most of the consumer surplus into revenue. Marshall's measure also assumes a constant marginal utility of money, so it is an approximation that Hicks later refined through compensating variation.
Marginal revenue from elasticity, and Stage II of the law of variable proportions
Question 2 (a): If elasticity of demand is 1/3 and the price at 100 units of sales is ₹40, find the value of marginal revenue. (10)
Question 2 (b): In the law of variable proportions, the second stage emerges as the relevant stage for the producer to operate. Why? Explain. (Diagram is required) (10)
(a) Marginal revenue when elasticity is 1/3
Given: price elasticity of demand e = 1/3 (taken as an absolute value), price P = ₹40 and quantity Q = 100 units. The link between marginal revenue (MR), price and elasticity is MR = P (1 − 1/e).
Substituting the values: MR = 40 × (1 − 1 ÷ 1/3) = 40 × (1 − 3) = 40 × (−2) = −₹80.
Where the formula comes from. TR = P × Q, so MR = dTR/dQ = P + Q (dP/dQ) = P [1 + (Q/P)(dP/dQ)]. Since e = −(dQ/dP)(P/Q), the bracket becomes 1 − 1/e, which gives MR = P (1 − 1/e).
Cross-check using the 100 units: from e = (dQ/dP)(P/Q), dQ/dP = (1/3) × (100/40) = 5/6, so the slope dP/dQ = −1.2. Then MR = 40 + 100 × (−1.2) = 40 − 120 = −₹80. Both methods agree, and total revenue at this point is ₹4,000.
| Elasticity (e) | MR = 40 (1 − 1/e) | What happens to total revenue |
|---|---|---|
| 1/3 (this question) | −₹80 | Falls as more is sold |
| 1 | ₹0 | At its maximum |
| 2 | ₹20 | Rises as more is sold |
| Infinite | ₹40 | Rises by the full price, as for a firm in perfect competition |
A negative MR of ₹80 means that selling the 101st unit would cut total revenue by roughly ₹80. Demand is inelastic (e < 1), so the price cut needed to sell one more unit loses more revenue on the existing 100 units than the extra unit brings in.
This is why a profit-maximising monopolist never produces on the inelastic part of its demand curve. There MR is negative while marginal cost is positive, so MR = MC cannot hold. The firm would raise its price and cut output until demand became elastic.
(b) Why Stage II is the relevant stage
The law of variable proportions describes what happens to output in the short run when more units of one variable input, such as labour, are added to a fixed input, such as land or capital, with technology unchanged. Output first rises at an increasing rate, then at a diminishing rate, and finally falls.
The full file carries the labelled TP, AP and MP diagram that this question asks for, with the three stages marked on it.
- Stage I, increasing returns to the variable factor, runs from the origin to the point where average product (AP) is at its maximum and equals marginal product (MP). Total product (TP) rises, first at an increasing rate, and AP keeps rising. The fixed factor is too plentiful for the labour used.
- Stage II, diminishing returns, runs from the peak of AP to the point where MP becomes zero and TP is at its highest. Both AP and MP fall but stay positive, so each extra worker still adds to output.
- Stage III, negative returns, begins where MP turns negative. TP falls because too many workers crowd the fixed factor and get in each other's way.
Why not Stage I? AP of labour is still rising, so every additional worker raises output per worker, and the fixed factor is underused. A producer who stops here leaves easy gains untaken, so it pays to keep adding labour at least until AP reaches its peak.
Why not Stage III? MP of labour is negative, so the producer could employ fewer workers and get more output at a lower cost. No rational producer pays for workers who reduce total output.
Why Stage II? It is the only stage where the marginal products of both the variable and the fixed factor are positive, which is why it is called the economic region of production. The exact point inside it depends on prices: the firm hires labour until the value of marginal product (P × MP) equals the wage.
Conclusion. Stage I is irrational because the fixed factor is wasted, and Stage III is irrational because the variable factor is wasted. Stage II is the relevant stage where a rational producer operates.
3. Questions Answered Only in the Full File
The remaining 10 questions of the June 2026 paper are printed below exactly as they appear. Their answers, diagrams and workings are in the full file only.
Question 3: Derive the consumer's demand curve for good X (a normal good) when: (i) real income is kept constant (ii) money income is kept constant. (10 + 10)

4. Blocks and Units
BECC 101 is taught through 6 blocks and 17 units, moving from demand and supply through consumers, producers and market structures to factor markets, welfare and market failure.
The table below links each unit to the part of the June 2026 paper that draws on it, so you can see which units carried the most marks this session.

Unit titles follow the IGNOU self-learning material, which you can read block by block on the official eGyanKosh page for BECC-101.
Block 2 alone feeds four questions this session, so learners who skim the ordinal approach lose the most. Pair the solved paper with our BECC 101 Study Material to revise those two consumer units first.
5. Paper Pattern and Marks
The June 2026 BECC 101 paper has 12 questions in three sections: attempt any 2 of 4 in Section A, any 4 of 6 in Section B and both in Section C, for 100 marks in 3 hours.
| Section | Questions printed | You attempt | Marks each | Section total | Shape of the questions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | Q1 to Q4 | Any 2 | 20 (10 + 10) | 40 | Long answers in paired parts, with one numerical on MR |
| B | Q5 to Q10 | Any 4 | 12 | 48 | Two numericals on labour and utility, two short notes on market forms |
| C | Q11 and Q12 | Both | 6 | 12 | Compulsory short answers on rent theory and the lemon problem |
Section C is compulsory, so 12 marks depend on two short answers from Units 15 and 17. Many learners leave these units till the end and lose easy marks here.
The three-section split with 40, 48 and 12 marks has stayed the same in every paper we checked since December 2021. Only the part marks inside Section A move around, from 6 + 6 + 8 in older papers to 10 + 10 this time. You can compare older layouts on our BAECH Question Paper page.
6. Topics IGNOU Keeps Repeating
Across six official IGNOU papers from December 2021 to June 2024, the kinked demand curve appeared in all six and the PPC in five, and both return in June 2026.
We read the BECC 101 question paper for December 2021, June 2022, December 2022, June 2023, December 2023 and June 2024 on IGNOU's own question paper site, then counted how often each topic was asked.
| Topic | Sessions where it was asked | Count (of 6) | Place in June 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kinked demand curve | Dec 2021, Jun 2022, Dec 2022, Jun 2023, Dec 2023, Jun 2024 | 6 | Q10(ii) short note |
| Market failure, externalities and public goods | Dec 2021, Jun 2022, Dec 2022, Jun 2023, Dec 2023, Jun 2024 | 6 | — (a strong pick for December 2026) |
| Production possibility curve | Dec 2021, Dec 2022, Jun 2023, Dec 2023, Jun 2024 | 5 | Q1(a) (Sample 1) |
| Stages of production and variable proportions | Jun 2022, Dec 2022, Jun 2023, Dec 2023, Jun 2024 | 5 | Q2(b) (Sample 2) |
| Price elasticity of demand | Jun 2022, Dec 2022, Jun 2023, Dec 2023, Jun 2024 | 5 | Q2(a) (Sample 2), Q6(a) |
| Theories of rent (Ricardian, Marshallian, quasi-rent) | Dec 2021, Jun 2022, Dec 2022, Jun 2023, Jun 2024 | 5 | Q11 |
| Price, income and substitution effects, Giffen goods | Jun 2022, Jun 2023, Dec 2023, Jun 2024 | 4 | Q7(a) and Q8 |
| Isoquants and iso-cost line | Dec 2022, Jun 2023, Dec 2023, Jun 2024 | 4 | Q7(b), now framed as output maximisation |
| Shutdown point or a firm running at a loss | Dec 2022, Jun 2023, Dec 2023, Jun 2024 | 4 | Q9(a) |
| Long-run cost curves (LAC, LRMC and SRMC) | Dec 2021, Dec 2022, Jun 2023, Dec 2023 | 4 | Q9(b) |
| Consumer surplus | Dec 2022, Dec 2023, Jun 2024 | 3 | Q1(b) (Sample 1) |
| Demand curve from indifference curves | Jun 2022, Dec 2022, Dec 2023 | 3 | Q3, both income cases |
| Asymmetric information (moral hazard, adverse selection) | Dec 2021, Jun 2022, Dec 2023 | 3 | Q12 lemon problem |
| Labour hours numerical, LS = 10W and LD = 600 − 10W | Jun 2023, Dec 2023 | 2 | Q5, same numbers and ₹40 floor |
| Total utility schedule 20, 60, 85 at ₹10 | Jun 2023, Dec 2023 | 2 | Q6(b), same table |
| Monopoly compared with perfect competition | Jun 2022, Jun 2024 | 2 | Q10(i) |
| Marginal cost and efficiency in perfect competition | Jun 2024 | 1 | Q4(b), same wording as June 2024 Q12 |
| Fixed costs and the output decision | None of the six | 0 | Q4(a), new this session |
The pattern is striking: June 2026 reuses whole questions from December 2023, including the labour hours functions, the utility table and the PPC statement. Learners who had practised the December 2023 paper walked into roughly a third of this paper already prepared.
That is why we build our IGNOU Solved Guess Paper lists from official papers rather than guesswork. For BECC 101, market failure is the one six-out-of-six topic missing from June 2026.
The December 2024, June 2025 and December 2025 BECC 101 papers were not available on IGNOU's question paper site when we checked, so the counts above cover six papers only.
7. How Our Answers Are Written and Checked
Every BECC 101 answer in the file is written against the IGNOU units and reviewed for accuracy, working and diagrams before release.
Numericals follow one rule: formula first, then substitution, then the result with its unit, then a check by a second route where one exists. You can see this in Q2(a) above, where marginal revenue is worked out from the elasticity formula and again from the slope of demand.
Diagrams carry named axes and labelled curves, because BECC 101 examiners mark down unlabelled sketches. Length is matched to marks, so a 10-mark part runs to about a page and a 6-mark Section C answer stays short and direct.
Before writing, the team studied every IGNOU Previous Year Question Paper for this course that IGNOU has published since December 2021. Where June 2026 repeats an older question, the answer notes the earlier session so you know the topic has history.

9. Programmes That Study BECC 101
BECC 101 is a Semester I core course in IGNOU's BA (Honours) Economics (BAECH), and IGNOU also sets it in the first semester of the four-year B.Com.
The June 2026 paper itself is headed for the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Economics, and it is the base for later BAECH courses in intermediate microeconomics. IGNOU publishes BECC-101 assignments for the four-year B.Com as well, so commerce learners sit the same paper.
If you study in any other BA programme, check your programme guide first. The BA (General) economics core is usually coded BECC 131, Principles of Microeconomics, which is a different paper; if BECC 101 is on your list, this file fits you exactly.

The file is a PDF with every question printed before its answer, all four diagrams drawn, and the three numericals fully worked. It also flags the questions that repeat from December 2023 and June 2024, so revision for December 2026 starts from the same file.
11. BECC 101 Introductory Microeconomics FAQs
These answers cover the BECC 101 June 2026 file, the paper pattern, the WhatsApp process and how this paper links to earlier IGNOU papers.
What does the Solved Question Paper for June 2026 include?
It includes complete answers to all 12 questions of the June 2026 Introductory Microeconomics paper, code C-3448. Every part is answered in the printed order, with the four required diagrams drawn and the three numericals worked step by step. Questions 1 and 2 are shown in full on this page, and the other 10 answers are shared on WhatsApp.
How many questions are in the June 2026 paper and how many must I attempt?
The paper prints 12 questions in three sections. You attempt any 2 of the 4 in Section A at 20 marks each, any 4 of the 6 in Section B at 12 marks each, and both questions in Section C at 6 marks each. That adds up to 100 marks, and the paper runs for 3 hours.
How do I get the full solved file on WhatsApp?
Send the message BECC 101 June 2026 on WhatsApp to 9899436384. Our team replies with the price and payment details, and the PDF is shared on the same chat once payment is confirmed. The file has answers to all 12 questions, which means the 2 you can read on this page plus the 10 that are not shown here.
Which BECC 101 questions repeat from earlier IGNOU papers?
Several June 2026 questions return from December 2023 almost word for word, including the labour hours functions with a 40 rupee wage floor, the total utility table of 20, 60 and 85, and the PPC statement. The kinked demand curve appeared in all six papers we checked from December 2021 to June 2024, and it is back as a short note.
How many credits and units does BECC 101 have?
BECC 101 is a six-credit core course, so you submit three tutor marked assignments that carry 30 per cent of the result, while the term-end exam carries 70 per cent. The course has 6 blocks and 17 units, running from demand and supply through consumer theory, production, costs and market structures to factor markets, welfare and market failure.
Are the numerical questions solved step by step?
Yes. Each numerical in the file states the formula first, substitutes the given values, and then shows the result with its unit. Where a second method exists, the answer checks the figure that way too. The marginal revenue sample on this page shows this style, working out minus 80 rupees from the elasticity formula and again from the demand slope.
Is BECC 101 the same paper as BECC 131 for BA General students?
No, they are separate papers with different codes. BECC 101 Introductory Microeconomics is the core course for BA Honours Economics and the four-year B.Com, while the BA General economics core is usually BECC 131 Principles of Microeconomics. Check the code printed on your hall ticket before you buy, because a solved file only helps for its own paper.
Who writes and checks the BECC 101 answers?
The answers are written by Prateek Talwar and our economics team, working from the IGNOU self-learning material for BECC 101 and from every official paper published since December 2021. Sheetal Kirola then reviews each answer for accuracy, clear working and properly labelled diagrams, and checks that its length suits the marks the question carries in the exam.
12. Who Wrote and Checked the BECC 101 Answers
The BECC 101 answers were written by Prateek Talwar and the Unnati Educations economics team, and reviewed by Sheetal Kirola.
Prateek Talwar prepares IGNOU economics and commerce solved papers from the course blocks and the official term-end paper.
