: 消费者选择 I

消费者选择包括选择商品组合作为市场篮或商品捆绑商品。所选的捆绑包应为消费者提供在预算限制范围内可以达到的最高满意度。

预算限制显示消费者能够负担得起的捆绑商品。最好使用消费者的全部预算购买任何产品捆绑包。如果未使用全部预算，则未使用的金额可用于购买更多产品，从而提高消费者的总体满意度。

消费者将希望最大限度地提高潜在满意度。这可以通过购买具有更大产品数量的产品捆绑包来完成。然而，有限的预算意味着消费者无法购买包含无限商品的产品捆绑包。

例如，学生每周收到 100 美元的零用钱，用于购买书籍和小吃。对他来说，最佳捆绑包是在预算或每周津贴范围内最大限度地提高他的满意度的捆绑包。

消费者选择涉及在预算范围内选择为他们提供最高满意度的产品组合。它考虑了消费者的有限预算和他们的偏好。

Neil 将他的月收入花在两种产品上，Good X 和 Good Y。预算行 BL 显示所有可能的购买选项。

使用这些相同的轴，Neil 的首选项可以显示在另一个图表中。

他对 Good X 和 Good Y 每月消费量的偏好由无差异曲线 IC1、IC2 和 IC3 表示。IC1 上的束为 Neil 提供了一定程度的满意度。较高的曲线 IC2 和 IC3 表明购买大量这两种商品后获得的满意度更高。

这两个图形可以合并。

通过购买大量这两种商品，Neil 可以继续进入更高的无差别曲线并获得更高的满意度。

但是，他的预算限制了他可以购买的商品数量。

因此，Neil 需要找到一个最佳捆绑包，既能提供最大的满意度，又能保持在预算范围内。
