4 Solving for perfect Substitutes

About this lesson
Exploring consumer theory, this video discusses 'perfect substitutes' in utility maximization under a budget constraint. Beginning with a simple example of goods x and y, the tutor demonstrates two methods to solve for optimal consumption: a non-graphical approach using corner solutions, and a graphical method employing indifference curves. The tutorial then generalizes these concepts, outlining how to determine optimal consumption given a general utility function. Subscribe to @AxiomTutoringCourses for more insightful explanations.
