Show that consumer of a commodity buys more of it when its price falls ? Use utility analysis. |
|
Answer» In utility analysis, a consumer is in eq equilibrium, assuming he consumes only two goods X and Y, when MUx/Px=MUy/Py Now suppose Px falls. It makes MUx/Px> MUy/Py Since per rupee MUx is greater than per rupee MUy, the consumers will buy more of X. It shows an inverse relationship between the price of X and demand of X. |
