Statement 1 is true. Consumer equilibrium occurs when the marginal rate of substitution (MRS) is equal to the relative price of goods. This means that the consumer is willing to give up a certain amount of one good in exchange for an additional unit of another good at a rate equal to the price ratio.

It represents the amount of one good that a consumer is willing to give up in exchange for an additional unit of another good while keeping utility constant.
