For example‚ not many consumers would spend their entire budget on said goods – one thing to consider would be a consumer’s marginal propensity to consume and save. Though both of the problems provide a framework and model of consumer decisions‚ they are not plausible when applying them to real-life terms‚ because we have imperfect knowledge. 1.2: The expression given in the question
