This short revision video looks at consumer equilibrium with indifference curves and budget lines.

does not allow a consumer
to reach this indifference
curve. It lies beyond their
feasible set of
consumption possibilities.

3. Consumer equilibrium
IC2 can be reached but
most of the combinations
on this indifference curve
involve not spending all of
the available budget.Sausages

Consumer equilibrium is
reached at the point of
tangency between the
budget line and the

5. Consumer equilibrium
Consumer equilibrium is
reached at the point of
tangency between the
budget line and the
highest-attainable
indifference curve.
This combination
maximises total
satisfaction with a given
limited budget.
