Consumption Bundle and Consumer Choice

A consumption bundle refers to a combination of goods and services consumed by a consumer.
The notation (x1, x2) represents a bundle of two goods, where x1 is the quantity of good 1 and x2 is the quantity of good 2.

Determinants of Consumer Choice

The "best" combination of goods for a consumer is determined by their preferences, budget constraint, and prices of the goods.
The consumer's likes and dislikes, also known as their tastes or preferences, are referred to as their utility function in economics.

The Problem of Choice

The problem of choice faced by a consumer is deciding how to allocate their limited budget to purchase goods and services that maximize their satisfaction or utility.
