Extract

Classical theory of consumer demand postulates that each consumer possesses a continuous utility function. The theory describes the behavior of a rational consumer such that the consumer's preferences for various sets of goods are given and the consumer purchases a set of goods which maximizes utility function subject to the budget constraint that total expenditure is equal to income.
