1. Marginal utility analysis assumes that utility can be measured and that utilities of different commodities are independent. It also assumes the marginal utility of money remains constant.
2. The law of diminishing marginal utility states that the marginal utility of a good decreases with each additional unit consumed.
3. The law of equi-marginal utility states that a consumer achieves maximum satisfaction when the marginal utilities of goods are equal, such that a consumer will substitute goods until their marginal utilities are equal.
1. The document discusses concepts of marginal utility analysis including the basic assumptions, laws, and applications.
2. The law of diminishing marginal utility states that the marginal utility of a good decreases with each additional unit consumed.
3. The law of equi-marginal utility holds that rational consumers will allocate their budget in a way that equalizes the marginal utility per dollar across different goods.
4. Marginal utility analysis can help explain consumer demand and behavior, price determination, and other economic concepts.
The document discusses the law of diminishing marginal utility. It states that as consumption of a good increases, the marginal utility from additional units decreases. It provides an example of drinking glasses of water to illustrate this concept. The law is based on assumptions like constant marginal utility of money and rational consumer behavior. Exceptions include rare goods and intoxicating substances. The law is important for understanding concepts like demand, consumer surplus, and progressive taxation.
The law of equi-marginal utility states that a consumer will maximize total utility when the marginal utility per unit of expenditure is equal across all goods purchased. It assumes consumers have limited incomes and try to allocate spending in a way that equalizes the marginal utility of each item. An example is provided showing that total utility is maximized when $4 is spent on apples and $2 on bananas, since the marginal utility of each good is equal at that allocation. There are several limitations and assumptions of the law, and it is important in areas like production, consumption, exchange and public finance.
This document discusses two economic laws: the law of diminishing marginal utility and the law of equi-marginal utility. The law of diminishing marginal utility states that as consumption of a good increases, the marginal utility from each additional unit decreases. The law of equi-marginal utility states that consumers will allocate their income across different goods such that the marginal utility per rupee spent is equal for all goods. The document also provides definitions of utility, marginal utility, total utility and exceptions to the laws.
This document contains a summary of a lecture on the Law of Equity Marginal Utility. It includes an introduction to the law, which states that when other things remain the same, a consumer will spend their income in such a way that the marginal utility from the last unit of each commodity becomes equal. It then provides assumptions of the law and presents an example using a table and graph to illustrate how a consumer can maximize total utility by equating marginal utilities. The document concludes with limitations of applying the law.
The law of diminishing marginal utility states that as consumption of a good increases, the marginal utility from each additional unit decreases. Marginal utility refers to the additional satisfaction gained from consuming one more unit of a good. An example is provided of a thirsty man drinking glasses of water, where the utility declines with each additional glass. A table shows total utility and marginal utility decreasing as consumption increases from 1 to 6 glasses. The marginal utility curve slopes downward to illustrate this pattern of diminishing returns to scale. There are assumptions and exceptions to the law, and it has practical implications such as diversification of production and progressive taxation.

The law of diminishing marginal utility is a law of economics stating that as a person increases consumption of a product while keeping consumption of other products constant, there is a decline in the marginal utility that person derives from consuming each additional unit of that product.
This document provides an overview of indifference theory and consumer choice. It discusses key concepts such as:
- Consumers maximize satisfaction when the marginal utility per unit of expenditure is equal for all goods.
- Indifference curves show combinations of goods that provide the same satisfaction.
- A budget constraint limits what can be purchased with a given income.
- Consumers optimize by reaching the highest indifference curve possible given their budget.
- Marginal utility diminishes as consumption increases, so consumers equalize marginal utility per expenditure to maximize total utility.

This document provides an overview of the cardinal utility theory approach to analyzing consumer behavior. It defines key concepts like total utility, marginal utility, diminishing marginal utility, and equi-marginal utility. Total utility is the satisfaction from consuming different quantities of a good, while marginal utility is the change in total utility from an additional unit. The law of diminishing marginal utility states that marginal utility declines as consumption increases. Consumer equilibrium is reached when marginal utility per unit of expenditure is equal across goods, as described by the law of equi-marginal utility. Utility is subjective and depends on individual preferences and circumstances.
1. The document discusses consumer behavior and how consumers maximize their utility given budget constraints. It explains the concepts of total utility, marginal utility, and how consumers allocate their income across different goods.
2. It provides examples to illustrate these concepts, such as how changes in prices and incomes affect consumer choices. It also discusses how time is a factor in utility maximization.
3. The document concludes by discussing how the theory of consumer behavior can provide insights into criminal behavior, where criminals also weigh the costs and benefits of their actions.
This document discusses marginal utility analysis and consumer behavior theory. It defines key concepts like total utility, marginal utility, diminishing marginal utility, and explains how consumers seek to maximize utility given budget constraints. The document also discusses how consumers reach equilibrium when purchasing multiple goods, where the marginal utility per rupee is equal across goods. It shows how demand curves can be derived from marginal utility curves and outlines some limitations of the marginal utility approach.

The document discusses the cardinal approach to analyzing consumer behavior. It explains that cardinal utility analysis assumes utility can be quantified and measured on a numerical scale. It describes the key concepts of total utility, marginal utility, and average utility. The cardinal approach is based on assumptions like rational consumer behavior, limited resources, maximizing satisfaction, and diminishing marginal utility. The law of demand and diminishing marginal utility are also covered briefly.
The document discusses the concept of utility in economics. It defines utility as the satisfaction derived by a consumer from consuming a good or service. It then discusses:
1) The law of diminishing marginal utility, which states that as a consumer consumes more of a good, the marginal utility of each additional unit decreases.
2) The different types of utility - total utility, marginal utility, initial utility, zero utility, and negative utility. It provides an example to illustrate these concepts.
3) The characteristics, classifications, and types of utility, including form utility, place utility, time utility, and service utility. It also discusses the cardinal and ordinal approaches to measuring utility.
This document discusses key concepts in consumer theory, including utility, cardinal and ordinal utility, marginal utility, total utility, the law of diminishing marginal utility, and the law of equi-marginal utility. Utility refers to the satisfaction derived from consuming a good and is subjective in nature. The law of diminishing marginal utility states that the marginal utility derived from additional units of consumption decreases as consumption increases. The law of equi-marginal utility holds that consumers allocate their budget in a way that equalizes the marginal utility across goods consumed to maximize total utility.
This document provides an overview of consumer surplus, including its definition, measurement, and applications. Consumer surplus is defined as the difference between the maximum price consumers are willing to pay for a good and the actual market price they pay. It can be measured as the area below the demand curve and above the market price. While consumer surplus generally declines with consumption due to diminishing marginal utility, it provides a measure of economic welfare. The concept of consumer surplus has practical applications in international trade, business pricing strategies, and public policy decisions.
1. The document discusses consumer behavior and the law of demand from a microeconomics textbook chapter. It explains how consumers maximize their utility given budget constraints.
2. The law of diminishing marginal utility and consumers seeking to equalize marginal utility per dollar spent across goods explains consumer demand patterns.
3. Examples like the shift from LPs to CDs and the diamond-water paradox illustrate how changes in prices and marginal utility analysis impact consumer choices.
This document summarizes key concepts related to consumer and producer behavior. It discusses the law of diminishing marginal utility, consumer equilibrium, indifference curves, and the principle of equimarginal utility. It also covers production functions and the laws of returns to scale, including the laws of diminishing, increasing, and constant returns. Producer equilibrium and economies of scale are also mentioned. Key assumptions and criticisms of models like the law of diminishing marginal utility are outlined.
This document discusses concepts related to demand, the law of demand, utility, and the law of equi-marginal utility.
It defines demand as the quantity of a good or service people are willing and able to purchase at a given price. The law of demand states that, all else equal, demand decreases when price rises and increases when price falls. Utility refers to the satisfaction received from consuming a good, with marginal utility declining with each additional unit consumed due to diminishing returns.
The law of equi-marginal utility holds that consumers maximize utility by allocating spending such that the marginal utility per unit of currency is equal across all goods purchased. This ensures no reallocation could further increase total utility. The concepts
This document discusses consumer demand theory and indifference curve analysis. It covers key concepts like the law of diminishing marginal utility, willingness to pay, substitution and income effects, indifference curves, budget constraints, and the Giffen good paradox. Consumer demand analysis examines factors that influence consumer purchasing decisions and how sales can be improved. Indifference curve analysis provides a more realistic model of consumer behavior compared to marginal utility theory.
Utility refers to the ability of a good or service to satisfy a want. The document discusses several key concepts regarding utility:
- Utility is subjective and relative to the individual. It is also independent of morality.
- Total utility is the sum of utility from consuming all units of a good. Marginal utility is the additional utility from consuming one more unit.
- The law of diminishing marginal utility states that as consumption increases, the marginal utility of additional units declines and can become negative.
- Consumer equilibrium occurs when the marginal utility per rupee spent equals the marginal utility of money, maximizing satisfaction within a budget constraint.
The Law of Equi-Marginal Utility states that consumers will allocate their limited income across different goods in a way that equalizes the marginal utility per rupee spent. Specifically:
1) Consumers will distribute their income so that the marginal utility derived from the last rupee spent on each good is equal.
2) They will continue reallocating spending until marginal utility per rupee is equal across all goods, reaching an equilibrium that maximizes total satisfaction.
3) This equilibrium is expressed as: Marginal Utility of Good X / Price of X = Marginal Utility of Good Y / Price of Y.

2. Basic assumptions of Marginal Utility Analysis Cardinal measurement of utility:- It is assumed that utility can be measured and can be given definite quantity like 1,2 or 3.This means that a person can express the satisfaction derived from consumption of commodity in quantitative term. Utilities are independent:-Marginal utility assumes that utility of different commodities are independent to each other. Constant Marginal utility of money:-Another important assumption is that the marginal utility of money remains constant.
4. BASIC LAWS OF MARGINAL UTILITY LAW OF DIMINISING MARGINAL UTILITY LAW OF EQUI-MARGINAL UTILITY
5. LAW OF DIMINISHING MARGINAL UTILITY This law can be stated as the fall in marginal utility of any good due to successive consumption of that good. For ex:- Suppose a person starts eating toast, the first toast gives him great pleasure. By the time he taking second he yield less satisfaction ;the satisfaction of third is less than that of second and so on. the additional satisfaction goes on decreasing with every successive toast till it drops down to zero; and if the consumer forced to take more the satisfaction may become zero.
6. This can also be shown by graph Units of utility Units of commodity consumed
8. LIMITATIONS OF THE LAW Suitable units:- It is assumed that the commodity is taken in suitable units. Suitabletime:-It is further assumed that the commodity is taken within a certain time, otherwise law will not apply. No change in consumer’s tastes:-Another assumption is that the character of the consumers does not change. Normal persons:- The law of diminising marginal utility applies to normal persons and not to eccentric or abnormal persons like misers.
9. Constant income:-it is also essential that the income remains the same. Any change in income will falsify the law. Rare collections:- In case of rare collections ,the law does not hold good. Fashion:- Further, fashion utility depends on fashion too.
10. Marginal utility Marginal utility can be defined as the change in the total utility (satisfaction) resulting from a one-unit change in the consumption of a commodity per unit of time. Marginal utility= Change in total utilty Change in quantity consumed
11. Say that consuming the first unit of ice cream gives you a certain level of satisfaction or utility. Now imagine consuming a second unit. Your total utility goes up because the second unit of the good gives you some additional utility. What about adding a third and fourth unit of the same good? Eventually, if you eat enough ice cream, instead of adding to your satisfaction or utility, it makes you sick.This led us to the fundamental economic concept of marginal utility. When you eat an additional unit of ice cream, you will get some additional satisfaction or utility. The increment to your utility is called marginal utility. The expression marginal is a key term in economics and always means extra. Marginal utility denotes the additional utility arising from consumption of an additional unit of a commodity.A century ago, when economists thought about utility, they enunciated the law of diminishing marginal utility. This law states that the amount of extra or marginal utility declines as a person consumes more and more of a good. Utility tends to increase as you consume more of a good. However, according to the law of diminishing marginal utility, as you consume more and more, your total utility will grow at a slower and slower rate.
12. Marginal utility of Money Money is a general purchasing power . It enables the purchaser to buy anything he likes. That is why it is said one can never reaches the stage where money ceases to be desired. That is , the marginal utility of money goes on increasing with its increase . This is oppose to the law of diminishing marginal utilty.
13. Marginal utility and price The consumer stops where the price and marginal utility are equal. All units of commodity being interchangeable , what is paid for the marginal unit is paid for every unit. Therefore , we can say that marginal utility determines price. It is marginal utility and not the total utility that determines price, other wise the price of water should have been high and that of gold is low.
14. Marginal utility and supply Marginal utility is a function of supply, i.e., it varies with supply . In the case of a free good, where the supply is unlimited , the marginal utility is zero. Only in the case of scare goods is the marginal utility is positive . It increases as the supply contracts and decreases as the supply increases.
15. Marginal utilities of related goods There are two types of relationship between goods: 1.They may be substitutes 2.They may be complementry
16. In case of substitutes The substitutes are capable of satisfying same want.eg tea and coffee, rail transport and road transport. In case of such goods ,other things being equal , the marginal utility of any such goods decreases as the quantity of the sustitute goods with the consumer increases.
17. In case of complementary goods Complementary goods are such goods which are wanted together for the satisfaction of a want e.g., paper ,pen and ink for writing. In such cases other things remaining the same, marginal utility increases as the quantities of the complementary goods with the consumer increase .
18. Practical importance of law of diminishing Taxation Price determination Household expenditure Socialism Downward sloping demand curve
19. Law of equimarginal utility Every prudent person wants to make the best of his or her resources. This is necessary because resource are scarce in relation to wants ,a fundamental proposition with which we started the study of economics . Every consumer aims at getting the maximum possible satisfaction for this purpose he will be substitute the more useful for the less useful thing when he has done so, it will be found that marginal utilities in each direction of his purchases have been equalized.
21. Limitations of the law The law of equimarginal utility involves very careful calculations of the expected satisfaction and its comparisons with the amount of money spent as well as with the satisfaction which may be derived by spending by the same amount of money on some other things. But how many of us are capable of making such fine calculations. Only in case of big expenditure, a prudent person goes through a certain amount of thinking . Ignorance of consumers imposes another limitations.
22. People are sometimes slave of fashion and customs and are incapable of rational consumption. Without being rational and calculating, a consumer cannot substitute one thing for other. This is another limitation of law. Another limitation arise from the fact that goods are not divisible into small bits to enable consumer to equalize marginal utilities. The law of substitution has no place when the resources are unlimited as in the case of free goods. In such cases , there is no need to rearrange expenditure because no price is to be paid whatever the quantity used.
23. Practical importance of the law It applies to consumption Its application to production Its application to exchange Price determination Its application to distribution Public finance
24. Consumer's equilibrium When the consumer attains the position of maximum satisfaction and would have no further incentive to make any change in the quantity of the commodity purchased
25. Equilibrium with one commodity purchase The law of diminishing marginal utility tells us the position of a consumer’s equilibrium in the case of one-commodity purchase . He will go on buying successive units of the commodity till the marginal utility of the commodity becomes equal to the price. If the price falls ,he will buy more and the marginal utility will come down to the level of price. On the other hand the price goes up , naturally less will be purchased and the marginal
26. Equilibrium with two commodity purchase In case of the consumer is buying two commodity X and Y , the position of equilibrium will be determined according to the law of equimarginal utilities . It has already been stated that a consumer derives maximum satisfaction when the marginal utilities of two commodities are equal. In case they are not equal , adjustment will be made in the matter of quantities purchased, more of the commodity with higher marginal utility and buying less of the lower marginal utility till the marginal utilities of the commodities are equalized. This is a position of maximum satisfaction.
27. MUe= Mux Px Where MUe= Marginal utility of expenditure MUx= marginal utility of commodity X Px = price of commodity X From the above , we can derive a formula for a consumer’s equilibrium in respect of two goods X and Y by him as under: MUx = MUy Px Py
