1. A single commodity
2. Two or several commodities

(a) Single Commodity Consumer Equilibrium:

(i) When purchasing a unit of a commodity, a consumer compares its price with the expected utility from it. Utility obtained is the benefit, and the price payable is the cost. The consumer compares benefit and the cost. He will buy the unit of a commodity only if the benefit is greater than or at least equal to the cost.
