Will Be maximum when its marginal utility is Zero.
i don't know the answer. i think it may be minimum or maximum.
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
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.
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

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.

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.
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.

Utility derived from consumption is often considered intangible and unobservable because it reflects individual preferences and satisfaction levels that cannot be directly measured. While we can infer utility through consumer behavior, choices, and market transactions, the actual feeling of satisfaction or happiness is subjective and varies from person to person. Thus, although economists use utility as a theoretical construct to analyze decision-making, it remains an abstract concept rather than a quantifiable entity.
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.
The relationship between the marginal benefit of consuming a good and the overall satisfaction or utility derived from that consumption is that as you consume more of a good, the marginal benefit decreases while the overall satisfaction or utility increases at a decreasing rate. This is known as the law of diminishing marginal utility.
The optimal consumption bundle formula for maximizing utility in economics is known as the consumer equilibrium condition, which states that the consumer should allocate their budget in such a way that the marginal utility per dollar spent is equal across all goods and services. This can be mathematically represented as: MU1/P1 MU2/P2 ... MUn/Pn where MU represents the marginal utility of each good, P represents the price of each good, and n represents the number of goods in the consumption bundle. By achieving this balance, the consumer can maximize their overall satisfaction or utility.
