The document discusses key concepts of consumer behavior and demand. It explains that consumers seek to maximize their utility given their budget constraint. Consumer preferences are represented by indifference curves, showing bundles of goods that provide equal satisfaction. The budget constraint depends on prices and income. Consumers reach equilibrium where the marginal rate of substitution equals the price ratio, maximizing utility. Changes in prices and income shift the budget constraint, creating new equilibria through substitution and income effects. Individual demand curves are derived from indifference curves. Market demand aggregates individual demand curves.
