Imagine a budget constraint between good y on the vertical axis and good x on the horizontal. How would that budget line be effected if both income and the price of both goods fell?
The new budget line will have the same slope as the original so long as the price of both goods change in the same proportion
The new budget line must be parallel to the old budget line
The budget line must become shallower
The budget line would not shift
A consumer with a given income will maximize their utility when :
The total utility derived from each commodity consumed is equal
The marginal utilities derived from each commodity consumed are proportional to their prices
The marginal utility derived from each commodity is equal
The marginal utility derived from each product consumed is zero
The formula of marginal utility is
MUn - 1 - MU1
TUn - TUn - 1
TU/MU
TU × MU

Market Price
Scale of preference of other consumer
Income of the consumer
