Consumer's EQUILIBRIUM refers to a situation in which a consumer gets maximum satisfaction and he has no tendency to bring about any CHANGE in his pattern of consumption.


Condition of consumer's equilibrium -: Consumer's equilibrium with respect to purchase of ONE GOOD is attained when the marginal utility of the good is equal to its price.


Example -: Suppose a consumer is buying orange and the price of each unit of orange is Rs. 4.
