Who determines how much utility an individual will receive from consuming a good?
Question 5 Andrew is currently spending all his income on 2 goods, burgers and Pepsi. He buys burgers at 4 L.E. a unit, with a total utility of 1000 and a marginal utility of 24. He buys Pepsi at 1 L.E a unit with a total utility of 800 and a marginal utility of 18. In order of reach consumer equilibrium, he should consume: The same amount of burgers and Pepsi. More Pepsi but the same amount of burgers. More Pepsi and less burgers. More burgers but the same amount of Pepsi. More burgers and less Pepsi.
If we have money, we buy goods and services to satisfy our needs. In economics, thesatisfaction that we get from the consumption of goods and services is called utility. Usea utility graph to explain what happen to the utility when you keep on increasing thenumber of units consumed. Also explain what happens to the utility when you keep onincreasing the number of units consumed. Also explain what happens to the additionalutility (i.e. additional satisfaction) when you increase your consumption by one unit
Law of Diminishing Marginal UtilityIndicate whether each of the following statements is true or false. Explain why.A.The law of diminishing marginal utility states that as an individual increases consumption of a given product within a set period of time, the utility gained from consumption eventually declines.B.Marginal utility measures the added satisfaction derived from a one-unit increase in consumption, holding consumption of other goods and services constant.C.When goods are relatively scarce, the law of diminishing marginal utility means that the added value of another unit of goods will be small in relation to the added value of another unit of services.D.The law of diminishing marginal utility gives rise to a downward-sloping demand curve for all goods and services.
Quèstion 16 Which of the following is NOT the goal of the consumer? O maximize utility O be on the highest indifference curve spend more income in the current time period than in the future O maximize satisfaction

1. What is the Total Utility of the second unit? 2. What is the Marginal utility of the third, fourth and the fifth unit? 3. Explain the relationship between Total Utility and Marginal Utility. 4. At which rate is total utility increasing: a constant rate, a decreasing rate, or an increasing rate? How do you know? 5. “It is possible that a rational consumer will not purchase any units of the product represented by these data.” Do you agree? Explain why or why not. 6. In the last decade or so there has been a dramatic expansion of small retail convenience stores (such as 7 Eleven, Kwik Shop, and Circle K), although their prices are generally much higher than prices in large supermarkets.
