Mar 28, 2023 · Consumer’s equilibrium can be achieved with the help of indifference curve theory only after meeting the following two conditions: 1. MRS XY = Ratio of Prices or = Market Rate of Exchange (MRE)
Feb 7, 2024 · A consumer is in equilibrium when he derives maximum satisfaction from the goods and is in no position to rearrange his purchases. Assumptions. There is a defined indifference map showing the consumer’s scale of preferences across different combinations of two goods X and Y.
To define the equilibrium of the consumer (that is, his choice of the bundle that maximizes his utility) we must introduce the concept of indifference curves and of their slope (the marginal rate of substitution), and the concept of the budget line.
An indifference curve depicts all the combinations of two goods that provide the consumer with equal satisfaction. When the Budget line is tangent to the indifference curve, a consumer will be in equilibrium, according to the indifference curve approach.
Describe the purpose, use, and shape of indifference curves; Explain how one indifference curve differs from another; Explain how to find the consumer equilibrium using indifference curves and a budget constraint
