Exhibit 28-1
Refer to Exhibit 28-1. If the Gini coefficient equals 0, then the
Lorenz curve is
If Gini coefficient is 0, there is no income inequality i.e. income distribution is equal and the Lorenz curve will be 45-degree line. This is called the line fo perfect equality.
By intuition, Gini is the difference of area between the 45-degree line and the Lorenz curve and if it is 0, 45-degree line is the Lorenz curve.

With an appropriate illustration, describe the Lorenz Curve and the Gini Coefficient.
