The feasibility condition, along with the tangency condition, is used in microeconomics to solve the consumer choice problem and obtain the demand function. It is formed by taking the equality of the budget line. The general form of the feasibility condition for two (dimensions of) goods is as follows:
x * px + y * py = I
where x and y are the quantities of the two goods, px and py are their respective prices, and I is the income of the consumer.
Famous quotes containing the word condition:
“This is essentially a People’s contest. On the side of the Union, it is a struggle for maintaining in the world, that form, and substance of government, whose leading object is, to elevate the condition of men—to lift artificial weights from all shoulders—to clear the paths of laudable pursuit for all—to afford all, an unfettered start, and a fair chance, in the race of life.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
