Explain relationship between total utility and marginal utility with suitable diagram.
Answers
Answer:
Relation: total utility is the summation of marginal utility.
Total utility is the sum total of utility derived from the consumption of all the units of a commodity. To illustrate, if 2 units of a commodity are consumed and 1st unit yields satisfaction of 10 utils, while 2nd unit yields satisfaction of 9 utils, then total utility is 19 utils.
Marginal utility refers to additional utility obtained from the consumption of an additional unit of a commodity. To illustrate, if 10th unit yields satisfaction of 100 utils, while 11th unit yields satisfaction of 105 utils, then marginal utility derived from the 11 th unit is 5 utils.
Answer:
The relation between total and marginal utility is explained with the help of Table 1. So long as total utility is increasing, marginal utility is decreasing up to the 4th unit. When total utility is maximum at the 5th unit, marginal utility is zero. It is the point of satiety for the consumer.
