Suppose a company (such as Apple) is very successful through marketing/advertising in persuading consumers about the value of their products. Assume you want to represent the indifference curve between an Apple product and everything else of a typical consumer. You have quantity of Apple products on the horizontal axis and the quantity of all other products on the vertical axis. How would the indifference curve look like after the marketing campaign comparing with before? ie: will it be flatter or steeper and why? Explain
