A consumer is said to be in equilibrium when given his preferences, and price of the two goods, he pay out a given money income on the purchase of two goods so that he gets the maximum pleasure.
In other words a consumer is said to be in equilibrium when he enlarges his utility, given his income and the market prices.
Hence it can be said that in consumer equilibrium, the marginal utility from the consumption of the last dollar’s worth of each good is the same.
Hence option third is the correct answer.

Question 1 0.8 pts Marginal utility O occurs when a consumer buys more of a good as a result of a relative price change O occurs when total utility declines as consumption increases. O occurs when there is a change in purchasing power as a result of a change in the price of a good. O is the additional satisfaction derived from consuming one more unit of a good or service. is the combination of...

17. Which statement is true? a. Diminishing marginal utility is equivalent to diminishing MRS2 1 → (where MRS2 1 → is defined as the marginal rate of substitution of good 2 for good 1, in the usual manner). b. A consumer has diminishing MRS2 1 → if goods 1 and 2 are perfect substitutes. c. If two goods are perfect complements, a consumer will have diminishing MRS2 1 → . d. If a consumer has monotonic and strictly convex preference,...
