What is meant of consumer equilibrium?
consumers ability to have equal choices Added: Where a consumer makes choices about how much of a number of goods they will consume to maximise their total satisfaction (Utility).
Total utility derived from consumption of a commodity by a consumer will be?
Will Be maximum when its marginal utility is Zero.
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 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
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 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.
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
What will a rational consumer does?
A rational consumer is a consumer who hesitates to be satisfied with the little amount he has. A rational consumer, therefore tries to maximises inorder to get its total utility. He might not decide to draw a scale of preference because he has alimited resources.
Suppose the MUP for bottled water is greater than the MUP for chips To maximize total utility the consumer should buy?
chips
How do you calculate total utility?
Total utility(TU)= Average utility multiplied by quantity consumed.
Explain difference between total and marginal utility. Define UTILITY. How do consumers maximize UTILITY?
explain the difference between total utility and marginal utility
What is difference between total utility and marginal utility?
Total utility is the total satisfaction obtain by a consumer by consuming all units of commodity. Marginal utility is the additional satisfaction you get for every additional unit you consume... For example, if you buy 3 slices of pizza one at a time. For the first one, you might get 10 utils, because of the law of diminishing returns, you will only get 7 utils for the second one and 3 utils for the third one. Your total utility is 20 utils (10+7+3). But you can find your marginal utility by looking at each slice of pizza individually.
