condition and consumer equilibrium under both cardinal and ordinal utility theory are identical. They both assume that the consumer is rational. Consumer equilibrium‚ under cardinal utility theory‚ is achieved when the sufficient condition is met. That is‚ the total expenditure is equal to the consumer’s income. If a consumer is assumed to consumes two commodities only X and Y‚ then: Utility is a function of Y and X; U = f(X‚Y)…………………………..i Let the price of the two commodities be Px and Py respectively
