this week you have gone to two parties. assume the total utility you gained from these parties is 100 utils. then you go to a third party, and your total utility rises to 110 utils. what is the marginal utility of the third party attended per week? given the law of diminishing marginal utility, what will happen to total utility and marginal utility when you go to a fourth party this week?
If at a quantity consumed of 1 unit, total utility equals 25 and marginal utility equals 25, and at a quantity consumed of 2 units, total utility is unknown and marginal utility is 20, and at a quantity consumed of 3 units, total utility is 57 and marginal utility is unknown, what is marginal utility of the third unit?
Ramona is an asparagus farmer and the world asparagus market is perfectly competitive.
The market price is $23 a bundle. Ramona sells 800 bundles a week and her marginal cost is $25 a bundle.
The market price falls to $20 a bundle, and Ramona cuts her output to 500 bundles a week.
Ramona's average variable cost and marginal cost fall to S20 a bundle.
Ramona is
A. not maximizing profit because she has cut her asparagus production
O B. not maximizing profit because she is incurring an economic loss
C. maximizing profit and she is incurring an economic loss
O D. maximizing profit and she is making an economic profit
E. not maximizing profit because marginal revenue does not equal marginal cost

- Suppose John decides to buy 4 units of food and 4 units of clothing with his $12 budget. Would his marginal utility per dollar spent on food be greater than or less than his marginal utility per dollar spent on clothing? What does this tell you about how he should substitute food for clothing if he wanted to increase his utility without spending any more money?arrow_forwardSuppose you consume 3 pounds of beef and 5 pounds of pork per month. The price of beef is $1.50 per pound, and pork is $3.00 per pound. Assuming you have studied economics and achieved consumer equilibrium, the ratio of your marginal utility of beef to your marginal utility of pork isarrow_forwardAll goods have diminishing marginal utility, but for some goods (or activities), marginal utility falls quickly as you consume more, while for others, marginal utility falls slowly. Can you think of examples of goods that you continue to enjoy a great deal as your consumption increases? Can you think of goods for which your marginal utility decreases rapidly?arrow_forward
- Describe the point at which a consumer maximizes utility.arrow_forwardWith diminishing marginal utility, how do consumers decide how much to consume? Students are expected to give a detailed answer to this question. You must include an explanation about what diminishing marginal utility means in your answer. Concepts such as "budget constraint", "more is better", "utility". "marginal utility", and "marginal utility per dollar spent" must be used in your answer. No graph or calculation is required in this question.arrow_forward
