Q.1.14 Utility from consuming a good is understood by economists to mean; (a) how often we consume the good.(b) how much satisfaction or benefit we get from consuming the good.(c) how much it costs to buy the good.(d) how we best use the good. Q.1.15 The marginal utility of a good or service declines as one more unit is consumed because:(a) supply slopes upwards.(b) consumers are constrained by income. (c) of the law of diminishing marginal utility. (d) prices move with demand.
When marginal utility is positive, total utility____
True/False Marginal utility keeps falling with the each additional consumption of a good or service.
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.
In real life, consumers do not sometimes satisfy their budget constraint. True or false?
A budget constraint line represents the different combinations of two goods that will yield the consumer the same satisfaction. O prices that will yield the consumer the same satisfaction. prices the consumer faces when deciding what goods to consume. two goods the consumer is able to purchase.
With 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.

Bob consumes food and housing. Suppose his marginal utility from an additional unit of food is 20 and his marginal utility from an additional unit of housing is 180. Furthermore, suppose the price of a unit of food is $1.00 and the price of a unit of housing is $2.00. Can Bob increase his utility without changing his total expenditures on food and housing? Holding expenditures constant, A. Bob can increase utility by spending more on food and less on housing. B. Bob can increase utility by spending more on food and the same amount on housing. C. Bob can increase utility by spending less on food and more on housing. D. Bob cannot increase his utility. E. Bob can increase utility by spending more on food and more on housing.
