Would you expect total utility to rise or fall with additional consumption of a good Why?
Total utility would generally be expected to rise with additional consumption of a good, as consuming more of a good typically increases the satisfaction or happiness derived from it. However, this increase may diminish over time due to the principle of diminishing marginal utility, where each additional unit consumed provides less additional satisfaction than the previous one. Therefore, while total utility can rise with more consumption, the rate of increase may slow down.
What else can I help you with?
What does a marginal utillity curve shows?
It shows how much utility you would get for each unit of consumption. It has a positive slope that decreases as the unit of consumption increases due to the law of diminishing returns.
What is the difference between marginal utility and marginal benefit?
I think this is the answer, based off my textbook, "Microeconomics" by Zupan and Browning. Marginal benefit is the "...maximum amount the consumer would pay for an additional unit" of some good. The height of the demand curve can be interpreted as showing the marginal benefit of some good. Marginal utility is the amount that total utility rises when consumption increases by one unit. For example if total utility for one scoop of ice cream is 10 units and totality utility for the second scoop of ice cream is 15 units, marginal utility measures the difference, 5 units, between the two.
What is marginal principle?
We will use the utility theory to explain consumer demand and to understand the nature of demand curves. For this purpose, we need to know the condition under which I, as a consumer, am most satisfied with my market basket of consumption goods. We say that a consumer attempts to maximize his or her utility, which means that the consumer chooses the most preferred of goods from what is available. Can we see what a rule for such an optimal decision would be? Certainly I would not expect that the last egg I am buying bring exactly the same marginal utility as the last pair of shoes I am buying, for shoes cost much more per unit than eggs. A more sensible rule would be: If good A costs twice as much as good B, then buy good A only when its marginal utility is at least twice as great as good B's marginal utility. This leads to the equimarginal principle that I should arrange my consumption so that every single good is bringing me the same marginal utility per dollar of expenditure. In such a situation, I am attaining maximum satisfaction or utility from my purchases. This is clear concept of equimarginal principle.
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).

Does utility refer to income tax?
No utility would not refer to the individual federal income tax unless you would have a UTILITY INVESTMENT FUND that you would be receiving income from. Then you would have some taxable income from this UTILITY FUND that you would have to report on your 1040 federal income tax return.

When would the total utility of a good and the marginal utility of a good be the same?
total utility and marginal utility are the same for the first unit of good consumed.
What is the power consumption on 3 ton air conditioning unit while using a generator?
It would be the same as if it were connected to a utility service. To find the wattage of a device multiply the voltage by the amperage. W = A x V.
What would be the slope of the consumption schedule or line for a given economy?
The slope of the consumption schedule, or line, in an economy represents the marginal propensity to consume (MPC), which measures the change in consumption resulting from a change in income. A steeper slope indicates a higher MPC, meaning consumers are likely to spend a larger portion of any additional income, while a flatter slope suggests a lower MPC, with consumers saving more of their additional income. This slope is crucial for understanding how changes in income levels affect overall consumption and economic activity.
Is peak oil in Saudi Arabia?
Yes, and it is recognized by the Saudis that if they were to strictly limit the consumption of their oil to their own country that their oil would be gone by 2045. Expect them to start running out soon.
