This document provides an overview of indifference theory and consumer choice. It discusses key concepts such as: - Consumers maximize satisfaction when the marginal utility per unit of expenditure is equal for all goods. - Indifference curves show combinations of goods that provide the same satisfaction. - A budget constraint limits what can be purchased with a given income. - Consumers optimize by reaching the highest indifference curve possible given their budget. - Marginal utility diminishes as consumption increases, so consumers equalize marginal utility per expenditure to maximize total utility.
