Consumer Xhoice Flashcards
How we decide on what products we are going to choose and what we consider every time we shop.
Consumption Choices
consumers make the most of their money, and it describes all the products and services that the customer can provide
Budget Constraints
To explain consumer behavior, we use utility to measure consumer behavior.
Utility and Budget Constraints
an economic term that refers to the complete satisfaction from a good or service consumption.
Utility
This measuring utility is the idea that individuals could order or rank the usefulness of various discrete units of economic goods. 1st 2nd 3rd
Ordinal Utility
This measuring utility is the quantitative measurement of satisfaction. 1/10
Cardinal Utility
A measurement used to assume unit and represent the amount of psychological satisfaction a specific good or service generates for a subset of people in various situations.
Util
One of the things that we must compute is the sum of the satisfaction that a person can receive from the consumption.
Total Utility (TU)
One of the things that we must compute is the additional utility gained from the consumption of one additional unit of a good or service.
Marginal Utility (MU)
How do yo compute the Marginal Utility?
MU= change in Total Utility /divided by/ change in Quantity
This law states that as the consumption increases, the marginal utility derived from each additional unit declines, ceteris paribus.
Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility
What is the formula in maximizing the utility between two goods?
MUa divided by Pa = MUb divided by Pb
This type of Change in Income is when the income or budget constraint increases, the consumption for the goodwill also increases, and vice versa.
Normal good
This type of Change in Income is when the income or budget constraint increases, the consumption of the goodwill decreases, and vice versa.
Inferior good
This type of Change in Price occurs when price changes and consumers are incentivized to consume less of the good with a relatively higher price and more with a relatively lower price.
Substitution effect
