how will with the consumption of good x and y in a situation when MRS=Px/Py?

Dear Student,

Good attempt made by nancy as the answer provided by her is correct. We understand that a consumer attains equilibrium at the point where the budget line is tangent to the indifference curve. i.e.

MRS= PxPy
As the consumer has reached the equilibrium position on this particular IC, he/she will be in a position of rest and hence will not change their consumption bundle.

when MRS = Px/Py

then this means that the consumer is in equilibrium.

he will stop consuming because he has gained maximum satisfaction.
