- According to the law of diminishing marginal utility, what happens as a consumer consumes more units of a good? A. Total utility increases at a decreasing rate.B. Marginal utility increases at a decreasing rate.C. Total utility decreases at an increasing rate.D. Marginal utility decreases at an increasing rate.According to the law of diminishing marginal utility: a. as you consume less of something, your total utility will decrease. b. as you consume less of something, your marginal utility from consuming that good will increase c. you should never consume more of something if your marginal utility is decreasing. d. If your total utility is increasing as you consume more of something, then your marginal utility must be increasing as well.24. What is the difference between total utility and marginal utility? Explain.
- If a rational consumer is in equilibrium, then: a. the marginal utility obtained from one product is equal to the marginal utility obtained from any other product. b. the marginal utility per last dollar spent is the same for all goods consumed. c. total utility becomes zero. d. a reallocation of income would increase the consumer's total utility.Which statement BEST describes the principle of diminishing marginal utility? As an individual consumes more of a good: Select one: a. the marginal utility will eventually become negative. b. the total utility obtained will eventually become negative. c. the addition to total utility obtained from the nth unit of the good will be less than that obtained from the immediately preceding unit of the good. d. the total utility obtained will eventually fall.Marginal Utility B C D Quantity Refer to the graph shown. Between points C and D, marginal utility is: positive, and so total utility is increasing. decreasing, and so total utility is at its maximum. positive, and so total utility is falling. decreasing, and so total utility is falling.
- When given the marginal utility of the first five units of a product, we can calculate the total utility by a. finding the difference between the fourth and fifth units. b. finding the difference between the first and fifth units. c. looking at the marginal utility of the fifth unit. d. adding the fourth and fifth units. e. adding the marginal utilities of the first five units40. As long as the principle of diminishing marginal utility is operating, any increased consumption of a good a. Lowers total utility. b. Produces negative total utility. c. Lowers marginal utility and, therefore, total utility. d, Lowers marginal utility, but may raise total utility.1. What is the Total Utility of the second unit? 2.
