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.
What is cardinalist approach?
The cardinalist school or the marginalist approach is based on the arguement that the satisfaction derived from the consumption of any commodity by a consumer can be measured in specific units of utility called as utils
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 are the assumptions of cardinal utility approach?
Primarily cardinal utility approach has 5 assumptions. 1 rationality: the consumer is rational about his spending. 2 cardinal utility: the utility/satisfaction can be measured in cardinal NOs like 10, 8, 15, 20etc 3 constancy of money: The money of consumer must remain constant. 4 diminishing marginal utility: Marginal/additional utility of consumer decreases along with successive use of any commodity. 5 total utility: Total utility depends on quantity of commodity. 3
Define utility and explain its type?
Utility means the satisfaction which we derive from any consumption of a specific commodity. Marginal utility and Total utility are its basic types, if you need any further clarification drop a message on my board.

What is average utility?
Average Utility is defined as the utility derived (or obttained) from the use of one unit of commodity. It is calculated by dividing the total number of utils by the number of units commodity is used by the consumer.

What is meant by utility and what are the five economic utilities?
we can look utility in two angles product angle it is wants and need satisfying property of c ommodity. consumer angle it is psychologiccal happiness ,pleasure,derived by consumer after consumption.
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.

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.
If marginal utility is positive will you have total utility increase with additional consumption?
If marginal utility is positive will you have total utility increase with additional consumption?
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.
Why does demand curve slope downward?
The demand curve slopes downwards due to the following reasons (1) Substitution effect: When the price of a commodity falls, it becomes relatively cheaper than other substitute commodities. This induces the consumer to substitute the commodity whose price has fallen for other commodities, which have now become relatively expensive. As a result of this substitution effect, the quantity demanded of the commodity, whose price has fallen, rises. (2) Income effect: When the price of a commodity falls, the consumer can buy more quantity of the commodity with his given income, as a result of a fall in the price of the commodity, consumer's real income or purchasing power increases. This increase induces the consumer to buy more of that commodity. This is called income effect. (3) Number of consumers: When price of a commodity is relatively high, only few consumers can afford to buy it, And when its price falls, more numbers of consumers would start buying it because some of those who previously could not afford to buy may now afford to buy it, Thus, when the price of a commodity falls, the number of its consumers increases and this also tends to raise the market demand for the commodity. (4) various uses of a commodity (5) law of diminishing marginal utility
