CONSUMER CHOICE 5.0: Introduction In this unit‚ we shall concentrates on a consumer by looking at the behaviour of a consumer in exclusion from both other consumers and producers. Recall that a consumer is one who uses goods and services to satisfy her wants. She is assumed to be rational meaning that he aims at utility maximization; given her income and commodity prices. There are several theories that have been developed to try and explain the behaviour of a consumer. However‚ they can be

graph some of his indifference curves. The consumer will choose the “best” indifference curve that he can reach given his budget. But when you try to do this‚ you have to ask yourself‚ “How do I find the most desirable indifference curve that the consumer can reach?” The answer to this question is “look in the likely places.” Where are the likely places? As your textbook tells you‚ there are three kinds of likely places. These are: (i) a tangency between an indifference curve and the budget line;
Premium Utility Curve Consumer theory
Consumer Expenditure and Equi-marginal Utility Consumer behaviour theory tries to explain the relationship between price changes and consumer demand. Utility is a concept used to denote the subjective satisfaction or usefulness attained from consuming goods and services. This concept helps to explain how consumers divide their limited income / resources among different choices of goods and services that help attain them satisfaction (utility) The issue however is how we are supposed to measure

As the wage increases‚ the income constraint line rotates clockwise‚ and we would expect a relatively large increase in hours worked. This response is dominated by a substitution effect‚ but there may be a small income

show that‚ if a consumer prefers more to less then his indifference curves cannot cross. 2) Suppose that current and future consumption are perfect substitutes. The indifference curves will consist of parallel lines with the negative slope m‚ where m > 0. a) How does the marginal rate of substitution between current and future consumption relate to the geometry (i.e. the slope and the intercept) of the consumer’s indifference curves? b) Given perfect substitutes‚ is more preferred to less
