PREFERENCES: WHAT THE CONSUMER WANTS
A consumer’s preference among consumption bundles may be illustrated with indifference curves.
LOGO
Representing Preferences with Indifference Curves
An indifference curve is a curve that shows consumption bundles that give the consumer the same level of satisfaction.

Representing Preferences with Indifference Curves
The Consumer’s Preferences The consumer is indifferent, or equally happy, with the
combinations shown at points A, B, and C because they are all on the same curve.
The Marginal Rate of Substitution The slope at any point on an indifference curve is the marginal
rate of substitution.• It is the rate at which a consumer is willing to trade one good
for another.• It is the amount of one good that a consumer requires as
compensation to give up one unit of the other good.

How Changes in Income Affect the Consumer’s ChoicesAn increase in income shifts the
budget constraint outward. The consumer is able to choose a better
combination of goods on a higher indifference curve.
