This document discusses two theories of consumer behavior: the cardinal approach and the ordinal approach. The cardinal approach assumes that utility can be objectively measured in "utils" and examines total utility (TU) and marginal utility (MU). Total utility is the total satisfaction from consuming a good, while marginal utility is the additional satisfaction from consuming an additional unit of that good. The document provides a formula for calculating marginal utility and an example table showing TU and MU values.
