The Cardinal approach to Consumer Equilibrium posits that the consumer reaches his equilibrium when he derives the maximum satisfaction for given resources (money) and other conditions. A consumer is said to be highly satisfied when he allocates his expenditure in such a way that the last unit of money spent on each commodity yields the same level of utility.
The concept of how consumer reaches his equilibrium can be further comprehended through the one-commodity model and multiple commodity model. In one commodity model, the consumer equilibrium is determined when he consumes a single commodity while in the multiple commodity model, the consumer equilibrium is determined when he consumes two or more commodities.
