How does marginal utility explain the paradox of value?

The paradox of value is explained by the concept of marginal utility, which states that the value of a good is determined by its marginal utility rather than its total utility. For example, water has a high total utility as it is essential for life, but its marginal utility is low because in most situations there is an abundance of water. Conversely, diamonds have a low total utility but a high marginal utility due to their scarcity, leading to a higher market value despite their limited practical use.

When total utility is falling?

Total utility is falling when the additional satisfaction or benefit derived from consuming an additional unit of a good or service decreases to the point where it becomes negative. This typically occurs when a consumer has consumed beyond their optimal level, leading to diminishing marginal utility. As a result, the overall satisfaction decreases, indicating that the consumer may need to reduce consumption to maximize their total utility.
