What are the two conditions that are met if a consumer is maximizing utility?
Suppose a consumer has a budget of $200 to spend on two goods, X and Y, whose prices are $20 and $10, respectively.   If the consumer is observed to buy 5 units of X and 10 units of Y, where the respective Marginal Utilities of X and Y are, 50 and 40 utils, is the consumer in equilibrium? Explain why or why not. If the consumer is not in equilibrium under conditions in d), suggest another combination that would possibly achieve equilibrium. Explain your answer.
Revealed Preference is when an individual's behavior reveals information about a person's tastes and preferences,i.e. what he likes and dislikes and how much he likes or dislikes a good. The individual demand schedule and an individual's demand curve reveals a person's tastes and preferences for a good. Specifically it reveals how much each successive unit of the good he consumes is worth to him. We can say this differently by saying the maximum price a person is willing to pay for a particular unit of the good is how much that unit of the good is worth to him. This value is revealed by his behavior or his willingness to voluntarily give a certain amount of money in exchange for that unit of the good. In other words, how many units of a good a person demands/buys at any given price. Look at the image.
