If a consumer is initially in equilibrium, an increase in money income will Multiple Choice move the consumer to a new equilibrium on a lower indifference curve. move the consumer to a new equilibrium on a higher indifference curve. make the slope of the consumer's indifference curves steeper. have no effect on the equilibrium position.
