A curve that implies greater welfare for the
Higher indifference curve
consumer.
Reflects the Marginal Rate of Substitution (
Slope of the indifference curve
MRS ).
A concept stemming from the rule that people
Diminishing MRS prefer varied bundles rather than extreme
bundles.
The specific consumption bundle located on the
Utility-maximizing bundle location budget line that provides the highest
satisfaction.
The point where the Marginal Rate of
Utility-maximization equilibrium condition Substitution of food for clothing equals the
relative price ratio ( MRSCF = PF /PC ).
The consumer chooses a new consumption
Effect of a price fall on consumption
bundle located on a higher indifference curve.
The consumer chooses a new consumption
Effect of a price rise on consumption
bundle located on a lower indifference curve.
The cost of variable inputs when no output is
Total Variable Cost ( TV C ) at Q = 0
produced, which is equal to 0.
The sum of fixed costs and variable costs (
Total Cost ( TC ) formula
TC = TFC + TV C ).
The change in variable cost or total cost divided
Marginal Cost ( MC ) by the change in quantity (MC = Wrac{ riangle
VC}{ riangle Q}).
