Why does marginal cost tend to increase with output?
It is because of law of dimnishing marginal utility,when the ouput inreases,it also starts increasng as marginal product starts declining after the optimum utilisation of resources.
How diminishing law guides consumer to get equilibrium?
A consumer buys/consumes a product only if marginal utility derived from it is more than marginal utility of money. As he continues consuming the marginal utility derived from every additional unit goes on diminishing but marginal utility of money remains constant. Both utilities match at a place i.e; where marginal utility of product becomes equal to marginal utility of money the consumer stops consumption thus equilibrium is struck.
What is Law of Equi-Marginal Utility?
Law of Equi-Marginal Utility explains how a consumer can get maximum satisfaction out of his expenditure on different goods.
Total utility derived from consumption of a commodity by a consumer will be?
Will Be maximum when its marginal utility is Zero.
Which is a dimension or assumption of the marginal-utility theory of consumer behavior?
The consumer has a small income.
Why does the marginal rate of substitution diminish?
As a matter of fact, law of diminishing marginal rate of substitution conforms to the law of diminishing marginal utility. According to law of diminishing marginal utility, as a consumer increases the consumption of a good, its marginal utility goes on diminishing. On the contrary, if the consumption of a good decreases, its marginal utility goes on increasing.
What are differences between marginal utility and total utility?
Topic Marginal Utility Total Utility 1. Definition Marginal utility is the extra satisfaction which a consumer gets from consuming additional units of goods. Total utility is the sum of total satisfaction of a consumer derives from consumption of a particular good. 2. Feature It can be negative. It can't be negative. 3. Sloping It is downward sloping. It is upward sloping.
What is the difference between marginal utility and indifference curve?
Marginal utility is the satisfaction a consumer receives from consuming an additional unit of a good The indifference curve shows different combinations of 2 goods that the consumer is indifferent towards
How does a consumer maximize total utility?
You maximize utility when marginal utility divided by the price of product A is equal to the marginal utility divided by the price of product B. MUa/Pa=MUb/Pb or MUa/MUb= Pa/Pb
Clearly differentiate between diminishing marginal utility and diminishing marginal returns?
utility: means a level of satsfection. marginal utility:an extra unit gain my consumer/consumation of addational unit. deminishing marginal utility:when a person reachs his max level of satsfection by consuming a specific product then his utility will be falling by incresing the rate of consuming goods. diminishng marginal return & Diminishing marginal utility is same.
What is the relationship between marginal utility and demand?
There is a close relationship between the marginal utility and price of a commodity.The additional satisfaction from the consumption of an additional unit of the commodity is called marginal utilty. Price means the value of the goods expressed in the terms of money.Price of all units of he same goods of consumption are more or less identical.It means that the consumer pays the same price for all the units of the same goods of consumption. But marginal utility of the goods of consumption start diminishing as the consumer increase the units of consumption of the commodity.Therefore the consumer will like to pay that price for the commodity,which is equal to the marginal utility he gets from the commodity.If the price of the commodity are higher than the marginal utility he derives from the commodity he will not like to purchase the commodity. In this way there is a clod\se relation between the marginal utility and the price of the commodity.
What will be the total utility derived from the consumption of a commodity by a consumer will be if marginal utility is zero?
i don't know the answer. i think it may be minimum or maximum.
