introduced were: * Utility theory: Utility has been described as the measurement of the satisfaction that an individual get‚ by consuming a combination of goods. The utility associated with each combination‚ allows ranking the combinations in a specific order. Assuming the consumers to be insatiable‚ the consumer will prefer the higher ranked combination to other combinations with lower utility. The utility concept is divided into two kinds of utilities‚ ordinal utility which provides us with

unrestricted domain‚ binary independence of irrelevant alternatives and Pareto indifference are introduced and used characterize welfarist social evaluation. These axioms imply that there exists a single ordering of utility vectors that can be used to rank all alternatives for any profile of individual utility functions. We call such an ordering a social-evaluation ordering‚ and we introduce several examples of classes of such orderings. In addition‚ we formulate some further basic axioms. Section 4 provides characterizations

are many theories‚ models‚ and principles in describing the ways that people make decisions. The expected utility theory is based on a normative theory of behavior. It describes how people would behave if they followed certain requirement of rational decision making (Plous‚ 1993‚ p. 80). Further studies showed that paradoxes such as framing effects violated the principles of expected utility theory which made researches turn to alternative models of decision making (Plous‚ 1993‚ p. 93).

Graph Juan’s indifference curves for the following levels of utility: 100‚ 200‚ and 300. Juan’s indifference curves for U = 100‚ 200 and 300 are pictured as follows. The general formula for the graph of an indifference curve for a given level of utility‚ U*‚ is F=U*/C (since U* = F x C). For example‚ the indifference
