5 Solving for perfect subsitutes part 2
About this lesson
In this tutorial, the private tutor delves into perfect substitutes' intuition, building upon previous problem-solving methods. They explain marginal utilities of X and Y, representing extra utility gained per unit, and introduce indifference curves of perfect substitutes. The slope of these curves represents the marginal rate of substitution, contrasting with the market's marginal rate of transformation. By comparing MUx/Px vs MUy/Py, one determines where to allocate resources for optimal utility per pound spent.
