Total utility can be zero when an individual's consumption of goods or services does not provide any satisfaction or benefit. This can occur in situations where the individual is indifferent to the goods consumed or when the consumption results in negative effects, such as discomfort or dissatisfaction. In such cases, while the individual may still have some level of consumption, the overall utility derived from it can be zero or even negative.

Explain the relationship between total utility and marginal utility?

Total Utility can mean the total amount of satisfaction gained from the purchase or consumption of a product. Marginal Utility is the amount of satisfaction gained from purchasing or consuming more of the same product. For Example: If you purchased two slices of Pizza, Your total utility would be the satisfaction you receive from consuming both slices. Your marginal utility would be the satisfaction you gained consuming an additional slice (i.e. The difference between consuming two slices versus one slice) Typically your marginal utility decreases as your consumption increases. For Example: If you have eight pizzas, one extra slice is not likely to bring you as much satisfaction as a second slice would if you only had one slice of pizza (as opposed to eight pizzas).


What is total and marginal utility?
