COST & BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Rational choice is the choice based on pure reason and without succumbing to one’s emotions or whims. Consumers can decide about the rational decision by using cost and benefit analysis. Rational choice is a general theory of human behavior that assumes individuals try to make the most efficient decisions possible in an environment of scarce resources. By “efficient” it is meant that humans are “utility maximizes” – for any given choice a person seeks the most benefit relative to costs. Consumers can make about the rational decision by using cost and benefit analysis. Consumers want to maximize their level of satisfaction relative to their cost. Rational choice is also the optimal choice.
Optimum means producing the best possible results (also optimal).
