Which of the following happens when Marginal Rate of Substitution (MRS) happens? 


Consumer starts investigating alternative products due to his or her limited budget. 

Consumer shifts from one product to another without questionning. 

Consumer's brand loyalty towards some brands increase consciously. 

When a consumer’s consumption increases,  his or her openness to other products will increase as well. 

When a consumer’s consumption of good X increases,  his or her valuation of good X relative to good Y will decline.


Yanıt Açıklaması:

Consumers differ in the importance that they attach to an extra unit of a particular good. This is useful in getting a measure of the relative importance attached by the consumer to the acquisition of another unit of a particular good. This means that whereas a consumer’s consumption of good X increases (and his or her consumption of good Y declines), his or her valuation of good X relative to good Y will decline. Besides, MRS is defined as the number of units of good Y that must be given up if the consumer, after receiving an extra unit of good X, is to maintain a constant level of satisfaction or utility.
