Microeconomic reasoning — definition?
Decision-making based on costs, benefits, constraints.
Opportunity cost — role?
Value of next best alternative foregone.
Rationality — assumption?
Agents make consistent, goal-oriented choices.
Marginal reasoning — focus?
Incremental benefits or costs of one more unit.
Economic constraints — examples?
Budget, time, resources limit choices.
Principles of decision-making — key?
Consider opportunity costs, optimize marginally, within constraints.
Agents — types?
Consumers and producers.
Objectives of consumers — aim?
Maximize utility.
Objectives of producers — aim?
Maximize profit.
Goods and services — characteristics?
Attributes, availability, and substitutability affect decisions.
Market interactions — mechanism?
Decisions of agents influence prices and quantities.
Agents — decision focus?
Maximize utility or profit within constraints.
Microeconomic methodology — steps?
Enumerate choices, gather info, rank, select best.
Decision principles — include?

Opportunity cost — significance?
Guides optimal resource allocation.
Rational decision-making — process?
Optimize objectives given constraints.
Marginal analysis — application?
Deciding to consume or produce one more unit.
Agents and objectives — relationship?
Agents pursue utility or profit maximization.
Goods/services — impact on market?
Their attributes influence demand, supply, and choices.
Market interactions — result?
Prices and quantities adjust to agent decisions.
Optimization methods — purpose?
Identify best choice under constraints.
Feasible choices — process?
List, eliminate infeasible options, rank, choose.
