Marginal Rate of Substitution

MRS is amount of a good that consumer is

Marginal Rate of Substitution MRS is amount of a good that consumer
willing to give up in order to obtain one additional unit of another good
MRS = 3 (means he will give up 3 units of clothes to obtain 1 food)
MRS = “-” delta C/ delta F (MRS IS ALWAYS POSITIVE)

Utility

Numerical Score representing the satisfaction that a consumer gets from a given

Utility Numerical Score representing the satisfaction that a consumer gets from a
market basket.
Utility Function is the formula that assigns level of satisfaction of the consumer to each market basket.
U (F, C) = F+2C U(F,C)= F*C=2,5*10=25;(D)
If basket A consists of 8F & 3C => U(F,C)=8+2*(3)=14
If basket B consists of 4F & 4C => U(F,C)=4+2*(4)=12
If basket D consists of 4C & 4F => U(F,C)=4+2*(4)=12
He would prefer A than D and B, cause more is better than less

Ordinal & Cardinal Utility

Ordinal Utility is a function that generates a ranking

Ordinal & Cardinal Utility Ordinal Utility is a function that generates a
of market baskets in order of most to least preferred.
Cardinal Utility is a function describing by how much one market basket is preferred to another.

Budget Constraints & Budget Line

Constraints that consumers face as a result of

Budget Constraints & Budget Line Constraints that consumers face as a result
limited incomes.
Ex: Women fixed income (I), that could be spent on Food (F) & Clothes (C), Price of C (Pc) & Price of F (Pf).
Budget Line indicates all combinations of F & C for which the total amount of money spent is equal to income.

Conclusion for budget line

When the income of consumer changes budget line shifts

Conclusion for budget line When the income of consumer changes budget line
and slope of the budget line doesn’t change.
When the price of one good changes, budget line rotates inward or outward, and slope of the budget line changes.

Consumers choose good in rational way & ”to maximize

Consumer Choice We assume that Consumers choose good in rational way &
the satisfaction they can achieve, given the limited budget available".
#1 condition: Utility must be located on the budget line
#2 condition: It must give the consumer the most preferred combination of G&S.

substitution (of F for C) is equal to the ratio of the prices (of F to C).
marginal benefit Benefit from the consumption of one additional unit of a good. (MRS, Slope of indifference curve)

Marginal Utility & Consumer Choice

M.U. measures the additional utility obtained from consuming

Marginal Utility & Consumer Choice M.U. measures the additional utility obtained from
one additional unit of a good.
As consumption increases => Marginal utility will decrease
0=MUf(△F)+MUc(△C)
-(△C/△F)=MUf/MUc

MRS = MUf/Muc
MRS = Pf/Pc, so => MUf/Pf=MUc/Pc
