Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An individual's demand curve is not continuous mainly because quantity, which is measured in discrete units (you can't buy 2.5 cars or 0.3 of a refrigerator, for example), is not continuous. This discreteness in quantity leads to jumps or steps in the demand curve, rather than it being a smooth, continuous line.
